Could the discrepancy between the exit poll results and the official count have been due to chance or random error?
No, the discrepancy could not have occurred by chance or random error. My initial report sent out one week after the election indicated that the dramatic differences between the official count and the exit-poll projections could not have occurred by chance. This means that there must be an explanation for these irrefutable differences between the vote count and the exit polls. By now, everyone who has studied the question accepts this as fact.
