Manufacturing trust in US elections
Submitted by ngant17 on Wed, 05/11/2016 - 11:00amThe National Election Pool(NEP) is a cooperative arrangement between all major US mainstream media (MSM), to use election data solely supplied by Edison Research and Mitofsky International in order to publish exit polling data. It was formed out of the failure of the Voters News Service(VNS), begun for same purpose in 1990. The fiasco of 2002, when VNS failed to produce exit poll data because of glitches in software, resulted in disbanding of VNS and the NEP was formed.
