Both article say either women or democrats were over sampled. Like Morris said they normally adjust for this but for some reason they didn't. Can you guess the reason?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A22188-2005Jan19.html Interviewing for the 2004 exit polls was the most inaccurate of any in the past five presidential elections as procedural problems compounded by the refusal of large numbers of Republican voters to be surveyed led to inflated estimates of support for John F. Kerry, according to a report released yesterday by the research firms responsible for the flawed surveys. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._presidential_election,_2004,_exit_polls In the early polls women represented 58% of the sampled voters, but by poll closing only represented 52% of the voters as reported by local governments, so women were likely oversampled in the early polling.
