Why exit polls suck.

Exit polls are usually inaccurate, deceiving and often times discourage people to go out and vote when it appears to be a landslide. More importantly, they are loosely based on the already shady practice of surveying… and we’ve all learned that microcosmic surveys can sometimes lead to terrible terrible assumptions. Why can’t we all just find out the score at the end of the game? Does politics need to be a sporting event? If so, why can’t I buy tickets to the game?

Exhibit A: Maine only has two registered voters.

Maine: Population 2.

Exhibit B: Mathematics for ABC News Employees; 33% is a majority.

33% is a majority

Regardless, they are addictive and I am wearing out my F5 key.
