True conservative.
My state (Washington) matches the signatures with an electronic scanner. If the signatures appear to be suspect they are discarded and are looked at more closely by a real person and if that person feels that the signature doesn't match then the vote isn't counted.
As for the exit polls not matching this time? Maybe the Repbulicans are playing with the results this time as well to keep Obama and Hillary fighting for as long as possible? A close and contentious race can only help the Republicans so it does make sense.
Of course it could be that Hillary's team is hacking the machines. She seems to be like the Republicans in that she'll stop at nothing to "win" and election. I kind of doubt this though. If Hillary's folks are hacking the machines they've been doing a pretty poor job.
