1. this election is the first one in decades

that is all paper ballots. It was recently ordered by the court that all virginia voting precints had to convert to paper. They did. Makes you wonder ..

2. I've been thinking this now for many, many election cycles.

3. It actually underplayed Northam greatly

Most polls had him winning by 3-4. He’s going to end up winning around 10.

4. What are you talking about?

The national polls were off by about 1% in 2016, closer than they were in 2012. This nonsense about the polls being so wrong needs to die.

Clinton won the national popular vote by two percentage points according to certified vote tallies compiled by David Wasserman of the Cook Political Report. Most individual surveys found Clinton holding a small single-digit edge over Trump, averaging to a three-point margin. Looking across individual national polls, the average difference from the final Clinton-Trump vote margin is 2.2 percentage points, much smaller than the level of error apparent when they were compared to preliminary vote results (3.4 points).

Another myth is that Trump’s victory represented some sort of catastrophic failure for the polls. Trump outperformed his national polls by only 1 to 2 percentage points in losing the popular vote to Clinton, making them slightly closer to the mark than they were in 2012. Meanwhile, he beat his polls by only 2 to 3 percentage points in the average swing state.3 Certainly, there were individual pollsters that had some explaining to do, especially in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, where Trump beat his polls by a larger amount. But the result was not some sort of massive outlier; on the contrary, the polls were pretty much as accurate as they’d been, on average, since 1968.

The fact that people pushing nonsensical vote fraud theories can't even be bothered to at least look up the basic facts is a big part of why I don't take any of those theories seriously. The actual numbers are absolutely clear.
