26. As the note in one place says, The exit polls "are notoriously unreliable."
Of course, we can't speak a word about the electronic voting machines. The voting machines, as we know, are always reliable, but not the exit polls.

Golly, Gee, I wonder why this is?

Must be something essentially wrong with exit polls.

Just can't trust them.

But the voting machines which have been found by every study ever conducted on them to be totally hackable, insecure, patchable, trivially easy to fraudulently program, run by extreme partisans and in many cases ex-felons, now here's something we can really trust.

There's absolutely no way to know what the real result of either of these elections is when it's over, but you can be sure of one thing: the exit polls are closer to the real result than the machines, and more trustworthy, that is, before they're re-calibrated to match the machine results. So the early results using the raw data, if that ever becomes available, will more than likely give a good idea of how the vote actually went.
