    because exit polls are samples, guesses, polls attempting to predict the real result. they are not super accurate. see how easy the answer is?

    A question for anyone who might know. Exactly who are the exit pollsters responsible for collecting the data anyway? Are they educated, highly trained statisticians? Or are they anybody off the street who answers an add in the classified section saying call 1-800-whatever and make big $$$$ for one day's work? Like I said, I've never seen an exit pollster, and I am wondering if they are interested in trying to be accurate or if many are just worried about filling in enough blanks to get paid.

    I've voted since 1988, in two different states, and have never seen an exit pollster.

    No one I know (with whom I've talked about this topic) has ever seen or been polled, either. How accurate can exit polls be?

    I just can't believe he is still going on and on about this... especially since he is basing it all off exit polling......

    Who are these exit pollsters?

    WHERE are they?

    When do they poll people?

    Who here has seen one?


    How the heck can someone rely on exit poll results as the basis of an argument for final vote counts being inaccurate??

    I've been voting since 1984 and NEVER have seen much less asked questions from anyone as I was leaving the polling place.
    Never heard of such a thing except during tv coverage supposedly.

    I have a right to question unauditable elections. trump has a right to lie about them. I don't have the right to conspire to overthrow elections whose outcomes displease me. trump has no such right, but he tried to do so... CRIMINAL.
