With all the articles flying around, I took the time to take the best and make them into one document. Here you go!

1. Okay, this is one of the best articles I've read yet about this election and the substantial disagreement between exit polls and the reported vote tallies.

Note: "Red shift" is when there is a shift toward the Republican candidate, when comparing polls to reported vote tallies. "Blue shift" is when there is a shift toward the Democratic candidate, when comparing polls to reported vote tallies.

Why the Exit Polls Sow Doubt About the Vote Count

quick excerpt

If, instead of looking at all the states, we examine only those where the shift in either direction is statistically significant, we would find 12 states (Utah, Missouri, Ohio, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Colorado, Iowa, Kentucky, Oregon, North Carolina, Washington, and Pennsylvania) with significant red shifts, but no states with significant blue shifts. The probability of 12 significant red shifts and zero significant blue shifts is one in 4,096, less than half of one percentage point. There is better than a 99.5% chance that such an outcome would not occur if both the vote count and exit polls were in sync.

Of the 20 Senate races, 11 had significant red shifts, none had significant blue shifts, virtually the same lopsided and unlikely pattern as the presidential results.

Exit Polls from November 8 Election Show Patterns Indicating Possible Electronic Election Rigging in Favor of Republicans

Commentary by Pokey Anderson: Just to look at one state, the state that vaulted Trump over the 270 electoral vote finish line, Wisconsin, in the table:

WisconsinExit Poll Margin in favor of Clinton + 3.9%

Reported Vote Count 1% in favor of Trump

The difference: 4.9%

Wisconsin was just one pivotal state. No surveys released this year from Wisconsin showed Trump with a lead. Wisconsin had not gone for the GOP nominee since 1984.

See also NC, flipping 5.9% and thus the state. Most NC polls before the election showed Clinton ahead or tied. (Source:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statewide_opinion_polling_for_the_United_States_presidential_election,_2016#North_Carolina)

Look at Ohio, which was hanging on the slimmest of margins in the exit poll, and flipped 8.5% toward Trump. Trump's win margin, 8.6% points, represented a 12% point swing from the last election, where Mitt Romney lost the state by 3% points.

Look at Florida, favoring Clinton by 1.3%, flipping 2.6% toward Trump.

Look at Pennsylvania, where Clinton led the exit polls by 4.4%. It did a 5.6% flip toward Trump, giving him a reported win just over 1%. Prior to the election, all 12 news organizations reported Pennsylvania would be either a toss-up or was leaning Democrat. The reported results have PA going for the Republican candidate for the first time since 1988.

MNis the only one that went the other way, a flip of 1.6%.

Electoral votes for the states mentioned: Wisconsin 10, NC 15, OH 18, FL 29, PA 20.

Just those five flipped states represent 92 electoral votes. If those vote tallies went to Clinton, the final tally would be 324 for Clinton to 214 for Trump. (Clinton: 232 + 92 or 324 electoral votes. Trump's reported electoral votes would be reduced from 306 to 214.)

Nationwide, "of the nearly 700 counties that twice sent Obama to the White House, a stunning one-third flipped to support Trump." --Washington Post.https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/2016-election/obama-trump-counties

In the Senate, the one-sided surprise flipping from Clinton to Trump was similar: "The contests in 20 states featured races between Democratic and Republican Party candidates. Discrepancies between the official vote count and the exit polls favored the Republican Party candidate in 17 states. In 12 of these states the discrepancies were beyond the exit poll margin of error." -- TDMS Research, http://tdmsresearch.com/2016/11/15/2016-us-senate-elections/

In elections for governor, there were exit polls conducted by Edison Research in seven states. "In two of these states, Missouri and New Hampshire, the exit polls projected the winner to be the Democratic Party candidate but the computerized vote counts declared the Republican Party candidate the winner. The contest in North Carolina is still undecided. The discrepancies between the exit polls and the computer based vote totals favored the Republican Party candidate in all contests. In four states the discrepancies exceeded the margin of error of the exit poll." TDMS Research, http://tdmsresearch.com/2016/11/21/2016-us-state-governor-elections/

3. Did the GOP Strip & Flip the 2016 Selection?

by Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman

http://columbusfreepress.com/article/did-gop-strip-flip-2016-selection

excerpt, part of the conclusion

So did the GOP strip and flip the 2016 election?

Let's count the ways:

There is no doubt that Hillary Clinton won America's popular vote by more than a million votes.

That popular vote victory will be reversed in an Electoral College originally designed to enhance the power of slaveowners, now being used for the sixth time to deny the White House to the rightful winner.

There is no doubt that more than enough black, Hispanic, Islamic and Asian-Americans were electronically stripped from the voter registration rolls by Crosscheck and other means to have given Clinton victories in those swing states that would have swung the Electoral College in her favor.

There is no doubt additional Jim Crow tactics meant to further disenfranchise black/Hispanic/Asian-American--such as stripping away voting times and precincts, denial of absentee ballots, non-counting of provisional ballots and much more--stripped Clinton of hundreds of thousands of additional legitimate votes.

There is no doubt exit polls showed her winning in more than enough states to have given her a victory in the Electoral College.

There is no doubt that the election was largely conducted on electronic machines, and with electronically counted scantron ballots, that are completely beyond public accountability. These voting machines are run on secret corporate proprietary software to which the public is not allowed access.

A series of explanation-defying questions surrounding Donald Trump's victories in key 2016 swing states has prompted a cadre of voting rights attorneys and electronic voting machine experts to consider formally filing for presidential recounts in coming days.

... The election integrity team understands that any recounts will require the assembling of the necessary funds and infrastructure under an extremely tight time frame.
