How can they declare Romney the winner with only 13% of the precincts reporting in?!!

It's called mathmatical extrapolation.

Exit polls. They weren't allowed to discuss them before the polls closed.

 

[mortepa]

the rigged machines make it easier

 

[clintontj72]

No it is mathematical extrapullitoutofyourA$$polation

 

[Kotin]

basic math and statisics.

Because they have people on the ground, and people reporting in, that makes it extremely likely that Mitt Romney won.

And no matter how much you wish Ron Paul got first place, he didnt,and Mitt Romney did.

Now, stop looking at it as a loss, as if we were cheated, because its the exact opposite. We are gaining ground, and we are doing better than anyone else expected us to do!

I was waiting for this thread to pop up as it did after the past 3 contests.

Yes they can predict a winner based on exit polling.

That happen never in Europe!

I think the same in NH...

Never in Europe happen like this because:

Countryside votes are counted first, and City areas comes later, and they always vote differently! Normally the results go upside down when moving from countryside to city...

NEVER IN EUROPE CAN HAPPEN LIKE THIS, THAT PROCENTS STAYS SAME IN COUNTRYSIDE AND CITY-AREAS !!!

Mitt bought all the diebolds.

 

[syborius]

because the establishment first picks the winner/s and then the people go vote.

 

[AFM]

Mitt bought all the diebolds.

hahaha

They call it once at the desired confidence level the other candidates are unable to beat the leader. Basically to explain it like the polls - the leading candidate is ahead more than the margin of error. Please note that 13% is a huge sample.

 

[skolwulf]

And don't forget that despite it being subject to unscrupulous manipulation or just poorly designed data collection, statistics is a science. Its not magic that it works.

I voted in an exit poll for CNN. It was cool to tell CNN I like Ron Paul.

Romney did win. Huge in my precinct.
