Exit polls are unusually accurate everywhere in the world, except in Republican-land.

GOP says “beware exit polls!” One has to wonder why they’re going to such lengths to discredit polls they can’t possibly have seen yet. It’s hard to figure out the purpose behind these bizarre announcements. You see, usually a political party will want to downplay any lead it has in the polls because that tends to discourage voters from showing up; yet the Republicans are saying “we’re doing a lot better than you think”. Of course that doesn’t matter if real votes aren’t getting counted.
