TIA was heavily invested in the exit polls as the foundation for his house of cards, never taking into account either the time-limited and selective sampling problem (Both as to precinct, and who was queried at the precincts by the canvassers), self-selection by responders themselves being possibly biased in one direction, simple lying by the Bush-voting responders to avoid confrontation with clearly pro-Gore flacks, or the factor of false answers offered just to screw with said flacks.
