Lawrence Lessig points us to a few answers to my last post. I knew that Voter News Service was out of the picture after the 2002 election. Apparently, it’s replacement is National Election Pool. It was those six news organizations (AP, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox News) who came up with the questions. I still can’t seem to find the questionnaire. I suspect that you have to pay for the subscription to get it along with the data. Because some of the exit polling was so far off, there’s wild speculation from both sides. Mr. Lessig is right. If Edison/Mitofsky want to maintain their credibility, they may have to open the data to an independent third party for scrutiny.
