Members Opt to Keep Voter News Service Intact

The members of Voter News Service, an election consortium whose data were used by several news organizations in making wrong calls in last year’s presidential election, have decided to keep the organization together and revamp its operations.

The six member news organizations--ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Fox and Associated Press--had given themselves a June 1 deadline to decide whether to remain in the cooperative or opt out, members of the organization said. They said that all have decided to stay in.

VNS’s board has been reviewing the cooperative’s procedures.
