WHO: The National Science Foundation
WHAT: The NSF has awarded a $10 million grant to fund the American National Elections Study, which will research voter participation and decision making during the 2010 and 2012 elections.
WHY IT’S AN OUTRAGE: Private organizations pretty much have exit polling covered, thanks. It’s decisions like this that make taxpayers less likely to vote for spend-happy politicians.
