10. Exit polls can sometimes be used to gauge whether or not there has

been tampering with the actual votes.

If the exit polls, done reasonably well, are in dramatic conflict with the actual voting results, then it may be a basis to question the validity of those results. It might also give the loser, particularly in a relatively close election, reason to consider calling for a recount--which would include challenges to whether particular voters were qualified.

Of course, it is also reason to question the validity of the exit polls.
