    To be fair, when was the last time any polls were right?

    Ours are always well off, and theirs seems to have been so for ages.

    People should really expect the opposite of what polls say at this point.

    No in the past they’ve been pretty accurate
    It’s only blind hatred and bias just lately and not actually listening to people on the ground as they don’t like what they’re saying that it’s like this now.

    They haven't found a way of getting round the fact that people claim they're not voting for Trump, when they are. After the last election, they changed the questions to make them less direct, in the hope that it would get round the issue, but evidently it didn't work.

    The polls being completely wrong shtick definitely correlates with the rise of social media and the ****shows that are twitter and facebook.

    People essentially have double lives at this point.

    In an exit poll, they just ask people which way they voted, it can only be wrong if the answers they're given aren't accurate, or all of one side won't answer.

    Answers should be gathered in the presence of portable lie detectors - some money to be made there.

    It's called 'counting mail in votes', not 'finding votes', Donald dear.

    Or is there a strategic advantage to be gained by manipulating public mood by feeding them false data on voting intentions, in the hope it will encourage floating voters to decide differently?

    Lie detectors are inadmissible in court though and that's common knowledge, that scuppers that idea almost straight away because people won't believe the results.

    Well, the bloke in charge of the US Postal Service, Louis DeJoy, is completely ****ed.

    Hundreds of thousands of ballots went undelivered in states such as Florida and Georgia before the deadline despite a court order to do so and he's been caught red-handed.

    Guess who appointed him?

    Not when accompanied by a gun pointed at the temple and a piece of paper to be signed by the respondent to the question. It is the wild west afterall, not all voters are aware.

    You are responding about something you don't care about? How strange.

    It's not even true, after a quick google:

    Number of registered voters: 3,684,726 (Wisconsin Electoral Comission)

    Number of reported votes as of this post: 3,297,199 (New York Times)


    Also according to NYT they are down to less than 1000 votes left to count in Wisc, so the total is nowhere near the number of voters. Biden leads there by around 20k, so he's already got that state, just awaiting the call.

    Shows how much attention I'm paying! TBD just look at the Twitter account if the guy who posted it and it's entertaining to say the least!
