Exit poll leaks

[Hearnes]

From Mydd

Here's some early exit data polling of Latinos in Florida (2000 numbers are in parenthesis):
       KERRY         BUSH

Hispanics    46 (35)      53 (65)
Cubans       32 (17)      68 (82)
Kerry continues to lead Florida overall as well. Again, these are exit poll numbers, so doubt them, but it looks great!

Kirsten Powers:

Matt Miller from the Kerry campaign in Florida just gave an update to reporters on how thing are on the ground. The bottom line is turnout is very high and voting is going smoothly. There have been a handful of minor incidents that have been solved by local election officials. Miller said turnout is higher in precincts that voted for Gore than in precincts that voted for Bush in 2000. More:

-- Dems are running ahead of where we were in 2000 at this point in the day.
-- Bush is running behind where he was at this point in 2000
-- In comparison to 2000, by this time of day there were widespread reports of problems in the state and today that is not the case. Things are proceeding well and no widespread reports of problems.
--Touchscreen voting machines are working.

A reporter asked a question about how the Republicans have made a lot of convicted felons voting, and have there been incidents about that. Miller said despite the bluster of the Republicans around this issue, thus far they haven't lodged many challenges.

Disclaims a birdie: "*** There appear be problems with exits in the following states that could be tipping numbers toward kerry: MN, NH, VT, PA, VA, CT, DE. described only as 'serious' issues we're looking at. so i would not put too much faith in those results."
