The methodology used by this reporter was simple: The only persons interviewed were those emerging from the polling place with an “I voted” sticker displayed on their clothing. No particular age or racial group was selected; voters were approached as they came out. To get them to speak freely, each was told they would not be asked their name or address but could volunteer that information if they so desired. They were then asked three neutral questions: “Are you a registered Democrat, Republican or Independent?” “Who did you just vote for for President?” “What decided you to vote that way?” This reporter then estimated their age and noted their race and gender.
