Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumHoly shit. Look at this. CBS scrubbed the Az exit polls from their website.
http://www.cbsnews.com/elections/2016/primaries/democrat/arizona/exit/Read the link.
Then click on it.
There is a thread below about how there were no exit polls from Az, and there was.
I went to find them & instead found this.
Bernie was leading in the exit polls. But - caution before you put on your tinfoil hats it makes sense.
Lots of retirees in Az would have sent in early ballots = Hillary supporters.
Working class & college students head to the polls. And people like me that don't trust Az to count the early ballots.
Edit to add - I tested this - I changed Az to Michigan. That is STILL there.

That is completely out of line. Results are invalid. Do it over, and do it right.

(14,459 posts)1. Exit polls are dangerous to some
The numbers in them ask hard questions when the official ones stray too far from them.

What happens when they don't trust the election process itself?
Look at history for an answer.

5% other, which isn't far off from the Utah and Idaho results. They need to either have a new primary or cast out the results from the entire state, and their delegates with them. Democracy should not be this messy and corrupt.

There are a lot of things that need to be fixed before that could happen.
