39. Maybe the rationale behind why certain questions were only
asked in certain states.

http://www.exit-poll.net/election-night/Final_State_Questionnaires.pdf


Of the 10 states polled that had gay marriage amendments, 9 also asked if people were born-again or evengelical and only 6 asked if they voted for moral values.

But it was still a big issue to find out in 13 other states if you were born again - and in 35 states to ask if Moral Values was the big reason you were voting.

With all those heavy, important issues, they only found it necessary to ask people in 7 states if they thought their vote would be counted accurately? Did anyone else see tons of news reports before the election that potential voters in Calif, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Ohio and Washington state were very concerned that their votes wouldn't be counted accurately? I don't recall it. Florida, it was an obvious question given 2000.

I'd be glad to clean up that table if I knew how.
