Have Obama fill in while the rightful president selects her cabinet and the state and local elections have a do-over at the GOP expense.

8. Yet another insipid unadjusted exit poll conspiracy theory

Unadjusted exit polls are garbage and thus any conspiracy theory based on them are garbage as well. This is nothing new and shouldn't need to be gone over again and again because people like confirmation bias. You want to believe the bullshit they are shoveling, so you assume it's true.

Just because somebody has a degree, doesn't actually mean they have any idea what they are talking about in an entirely unrelated field. The author of the cited piece is an idiot on the subject of exit polling. Please actually look at what people who are informed on the subject matter have to say. There is no reason to bother with some buffoon who clearly doesn't actually understand what he's basing his conspiracy theory on.
