12. Weasel words...read carefully!
"“Exit polls do not support the allegations of fraud due to rigging of voting equipment,” the report concluded. “Our analysis of the difference between the vote count and the exit poll at each polling location in our sample has found no systematic differences for precincts using touch screen and optical scan voting equipment.”

IOW, we couldn't find fraud DUE TO RIGGING. Nor did we find fraud via TOUCH SCREEN/OPTI SCAN equipment.

Likewise, IN OUR SAMPLE tells as lot. In Ohio, they carefully sampled selected precincts, NOT the legally required RANDOM sampling. They cherry picked. There is no reason to believe these people didn't do the same thing here to cover their asses.

They carefully frame their words. This doesn't say there was no fraud. It doesn't even say the vote wasn't in fact stolen. It simply says it wasn't stolen due to systematic rigging of touch screen/opti scan equipment. Nothing more.
