*
*On  *Election Defense Radio 
<cid:part1.07040804.04070201 at voterescue.org> 
*(http://www.electiondefensealliance.org/election_defense_radio) this 
evening, * *Tues. Jan. 29,  at 8:00 - 9:00 pm Eastern / *7:00 - 8:00 pm 
Central* / 6:00 - 7:00 Mountain / 5:00 - 6:00 pm Pacific*,

**Jonathan Simon* and *Steven Freeman* will be discussing *exit polling* 
as a tool to assess the validity of purported electronic election results.


To *"tune in" via the Internet,*  go to http://www.toginet.com 
<ttp://www.toginet.com%22> and click on either of the two Audio Players 
(Flash or Windows Media) you will see in the upper right corner.


*Co-hosts Andi Novick and Dan Ashby* will be asking the experts to 
explain  what  "raw"  "weighted"  and "adjusted" exit polls mean, 

how "stratification" is used to draw demogragraphic portraits,  and  how 
"intrinsic yardsticks"  such as presidential approval ratings and prior 
year election results

can tell us whether an exit polling sample is valid or biased in one 
direction or another.

*
Call in with your questions too,  at  877- 864 - 4869*
* *

We'll also be asking why the  40-year tradition of exit polls with 
predictive accuracy to within 1% has seemingly gone awry of late,

but only in the U.S. and only since the mass transition to computerized 
voting.
*
*
Finally, and most importantly,  we will ask, *can citizens carry out  
independent exit polls* (or develop alternative methods) to assess for 
ourselves the truthfulness

of  "official" election results reported by proprietary voting machines 
that keep the raw vote data secret,

and  "official" exit poll results reported by a big media consortium 
that keeps the raw polling data secret?
