The airwaves still pulse with talk about the "Bradley Effect," and a friend of mine worries that this could be floated by those who want to soften the electorate up to "buy" this theory should the reported poll counts prove significantly different than the voting results themselves. He says the pundits are parroting this hypothesis instead of asking, "who is pushing this?"

With concern, he wrote a letter to his congressman saying:

" Here's the scenario that worries me. That scenario is tampering with
computers in key battleground states so they report a narrow win by
Republicans, then blame the discrepancy between the electoral outcome and the polls on "hidden racism".

As a nation, we have been pre-conditioned to accept hidden racism and false responses to pollsters as plausible explanations for an election-day reversal of what the polls predict."

"Do Democrats have a contingency plan for dealing with this scenario?"

That's the question he wants to ask, and it might be worth airing that same question here.
