The results in Ohio and the Exit Poll have been thoroughly examined.   
An organization I am part of, the election science institute (esi),  
conducted an audit of 49 of the 88 counties in late 2004 and early  
2005.  While significant error was found, the error was found to be  
random.  I also find it interesting that those who argue that the  
exit poll results were accurate have never performed an exit poll  
before - esi found some of the same factors in its new mexico exit  
poll as the NEM exit poll experienced in Ohio.

Finally, I'm quite concerned about the use of the election system as  
a political wedge.   The election system clearly is in need of  
significant improvement, but this requires objective, rationale,  
scientific enquiry and system development.
