2. Because small/rural areas report in first.
The number always changes, and the exit polls were overwhelmingly in his favor - otherwise they wouldn't have called it as they did.

3. Look at the exit polls and you will get the answer
these % with less than 200 votes counted

10. Yes, most people dont realize how accurate exit polls are...
UN election monitoring agencies make calls on whether elections were fraudulent based on them as do we here in the US.... with regard to foreign elections.

There are two 'examples' where exit polls 'were wrong'. Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004.

Of course we know those werent wrong either...

8. You're joking, right?
There are about 100 votes total.

Less than 0.0000000000000000001 of precincts are reporting.
