Speaking about bus rides from Democratic rallies directly to the polls,
William R. Scherer, a Fort Lauderdale lawyer working for the Republicans, said his party had no need for such stunts. "We don't need to bus," he said. "Most of our people have cars."
According to the literature, one of the reasons for the famous Literary Digest polling error in the 1936 election was a reliance on lists drawn from automobile and telephone registrations, and at the time only the prosperous had either. This smacks of the same sort of thing.
