A Plea.

[pmb]

Despite my disappointment at the outcome of this election, what is most important to me is that the people have at least nominally spoken. The election has been held, and we support the system, even if we do not support the winner. At all.

To that end, if faith in the system is lost, then all is lost. Because you can't fix anything within a broken system. So please, please, PLEASE, someone tell me where the fault in this graph lies. Because I desperately want to believe that he actually won. The alternative is too awful.

Exit polls are not random. I was listening to some "experts" talk about why the exit polls were so different, and they gave some acceptable reasons. I can't remember most of them, but one was in Florida. Most of the exit pollers were english speakers. Many of the voters spoke english poorly or not at all. In such a case, the exit pollers would talk to fewer of the spanish speaking voters than the english speaking voter. Additionally, they say that the hispanic community is more likely to vote republican, so that would be an example of how the exit polls can skew the data.
