America's Leading Gay News SourceTrans voters excluded in election exit pollBy Lou Chibbaro Jr. on November 1, 2012
http://www.washingtonblade.com/2012/11/01/trans-voters-excluded-in-election-exit-poll/A national polling firm retained by a consortium of five TV networks and the Associated Press will include gay, lesbian, and bisexual voters in its presidential election exit poll on Nov. 6.
But Joe Lenski, executive vice president of the New Jersey based Edison Research polling firm, told the Blade on Thursday that the exit poll won't seek to identify transgender voters through a lengthy questionnaire given to voters as they leave polling places across the country.
"We've tried to keep that wording as consistent as possible across elections and that's the way it's been asked in the last decade at least," he said.
