I didn't know what you were talking about and I googled it. Now I have it in my head too.

Is that for real?

The commercials are on all the damned time. I still don't know what it is we city folks don't get, though.

That's why I asked. I was scratching my head wondering where you'd seen that awful commercial. Thank god I don't watch cable tv, or I'd have to beat myself about the head with a ball peen hammer.

Generally speaking, exit polls are very accurate.
The discrepancies between exit polls and final vote counts are too big in Arizona and New York

Even if a paper ballot, the scanners are only verifiable if there is a hand count, which they won't do.

the first exit polls showed a 52-48 race. Sounds about right.

I haven't found a district map that does what this one does. Apparently Hillary won HUGE...news to me. I thought she just managed to stay viable, and that with a lot of irregularities in the election. Not what I'd call a landslide victory by any stretch.

She had a 30 point lead.....oops!

Obama was a comparative unknown. I assume that familiarity was a big advantage for Clinton.

We lived there when I was a kid and it tended to be conservative (at least where we lived) but as bad as things got there I would have thought they'd be looking for something better.
