Exit polls that differ from the official results?! That's a guaranteed sign of fraud!
You know, I'm starting to think that one of the biggest problems with modern western democracies is the idea of secret ballots. If every ballot cast has a means of identifying the voter, it becomes extremely easy to track down cases of fraud.

And makes it very easy to track those who voted for your opponents.
In the worse cases this results in killing, even in places like Canada and US you could see people being prejudiced against if the votes were public knowledge.
It would be nice to have open elections to avoid possible problems with fraud but the reprecussions would be too bad to do so.
