Exit Polls and Vote Result Disrepancies
One thing I noticed about most of the primaries: Bernie does better in the initial CNN exit polls (released after the polls close) than in the vote result. CNN then modifies the exit poll to reflect the vote results. Tonight the initial exit poll had Hillary up 52-48 and the vote result was 58-42. This is a shift of 12%. Being that it seems to happen mostly in one direction, I was wondering why the exit polls seem to favor Bernie. I cannot come up with a good reason. So, I start to wonder about election fraud but I want to rule out other possibilities before I start believing in CT. Can anyone explain why the initial exit polls would favor Bernie consistently? I know they say that some Republicans are reluctant to speak to exit poll pollsters but why would some Hillary supporters be likewise inhibited in participating in exit polls?

Don't trust any of it.

US has used exit polls to declare elections rigged...
But for some reason, we can't seem to find the same evidence here... shocker.
I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
Have Americans been overpolled
to the point that a large minority ratfuck with exit polls? Lie, counter to what they feel? How could that even be detected?

I personally know quite a few
I personally know quite a few people who really would prefer Bernie, but who have been scared into supporting Hillary because of the "electability" argument. And I could well imagine some of them, having gritted their teeth and pulled the lever for her, being ashamed to admit it if they were stopped two minutes later and asked who they just voted for. So, without some further evidence of actual funny business, I can accept that the exit polls really are that far off.
Do you really think there are that many?
I know some people who like Bernie but who feel he can't win in GE. They were not shy or ashamed about it. They view it as a legitimate reason for not voting for him. I can't believe there would be so many people so ashamed of their vote that they could not admit it or speak about it to pollsters, who after all are not friends or relatives. So, I can't buy this as an explanation.
This process was pioneered in Ohio 2004.
Look it up. I watched it happen in real time.
Same shit happened - Kerry was winning Ohio and thus the Presidency by all accepted exit poll standards.
Then around 1030pm Eastern Time something happened and suddenly GWB took a big lead - I watched in disbelief as the numbers cycled maniacally on CNN...then CNN changed their exit poll numbers sometime around midnight to reflect the new Bush numbers. They used the same excuse as they did yesterday - the exit polling data was skewed and they needed to apply 'mathematical adjustments' to make it reflect 'reality'
These shenanigans occurred around 10 to 12 PM in Eastern Ohio, the same time frame allegations of tampering were being made in Warren Ohio....you can search the web for the
true"CT" theories that explain it.Since that election We have been fed the lie that exit polls are not reliable...though we still use them to monitor elections in other countries and use them as evidence of election fraud. Just not in the good old USA.
