That's the fundamental basis of the scientific method.


I read Laura's reply and remain unconvinced. She uses tracking polls which are more unreliable, subject to bias, and staler, to question exit polls which track actual voters showing up at the booths, and is more current information. The tracking polls did not anticipate the surge of voters that occurred at the last moment. The lines were horrendous. I know because many of my coworkers live in New Hampshire and were two to four hours late to work because they were waiting in line to vote.


Questioning the vote outcome based on the tracking polls is like flipping a coin twice, seeing two heads in a row, and claiming that's impossible because statistically speaking, we should see one head and one tail.

It is up to Laura now to show a mathematical model wherein the vote can be manipulated to favor Clinton over Obama, while simultaneously keeping the exit polls and the official results matching each other.
