Best deal I ' ve seen . Thanks for looking out for us bro ! <| sep |> Around 2000 usd for a practice round . 4000 for a real one that goes bang . <| sep |> but exit poling is sample based and weighted , so not every precinct in every area . And most polling agencies have been doing this a long time and want to work against people ' s reporting fears . That ' s why it ' s typically a clipboard handed to a person to complete and place in an envelope without anyone watching . Then the envelope is collected . There ' s no interview , and there ' s no ID tracking between exit poll and individual . These are part of the reason they ' re considered so credible . It ' s far more likely that key districts were sampled poorly , so when that data went into weighting it fucked up the projections till more actual voter data came in and aligned the projections towards reality .
