It seems that the final dying spasm of the McCain/Palin supporters is an attempt to skew the exit polls.
The leading front page article on redstate.com is a plea to their readers to re-initiate "Operation Chaos" by lying to exit pollsters.
From the redstate leading story:
Friends, tomorrow is the day we've been focused on for so long. Let's make it a great day. Let's reignite Operation Chaos.
As you know, the media relies on exit polling to formulate their news coverage of Election Day. Likewise, the campaigns make estimations as the day wears on via exit polls. Lastly, in preparing for the next election's polling, some pollsters will use exit polling to help them. We know how well that's gone this year.
I have a hearty suggestion for all of us: seek out exit pollsters. Find them. Be willing to engage in the exit polling. And lie. Tell the exit pollsters you voted for Barack Obama. Tell them you are a diehard liberal. But tell them you voted for Barack Obama.
Then go home and watch the media realize there is something badly wrong with their data and make them have to watch the results come in with the rest of us.
Let's give one last hurrah to Operation Chaos.
I am not sure exactly what specifically this strategy is supposed to achieve, but in general, it seems to be yet another attempt to throw confusion into the election results.
Haven't we had enough of the right attempting to corrupt the election process? From voter caging to voter purging, from poorly built voting machines to the numbers of said machines being deployed in inverse proportion to democratic and lower class neighborhoods, to the original "Operation Chaos" and the whole ACORN farce, the right has carried out a campaign to cast doubt on our election process.
This is not how a democracy is supposed to work. But then, time and time again, the conservative machine has proved that they are not interested in a functional democracy, but rather, to maintaining the status quo at any cost.
Enough is enough. We are in the last stretch. Let's keep up the work and cross the finish line at a full sprint. But after we have, let us not forget these tactics; we will have significant work to do after election day to ensure that these tactics do not work in the future. We have two years before the 2010 election to make sure that laws are enacted to prevent caging, to ensure fair voting practices and to make sure that everyone's right to vote is not impinged upon. Tomorrow will not be the end of the war; tomorrow will be a great battle won. But the war is not over.
