2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumDon't get worried by exit polls tomorrow!
Just a quick thought on tomorrow and the exit polls. These things are very unreliable on their best day, and they do NOT take early voting into account. Repubs always have a higher turnout on election day, so don't have a heart attack if leaked exit polls show good numbers for R$. The final numbers are all that matter. Can't wait for tomorrow night!

I remember a lot of leaked exit polls in 2004 that showed Kerry winning. We all know how that turned out.
