Please stop sharing the post saying the discrepancy between the exit polls and vote totals in the primaries were off by 10% or more, it's based on a very simple error in mathhttps://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/fj5go3/theres_no_exit_poll_discrepancy_a_deep_dive_into/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share …

When people talk about "percent" in this context they mean percentage points of the total number of voters Not the percentage of the votes that particular candidate got When they say a discrepancy of 4% is a red flag they mean if the exit poll says 28% and the vote says 24%

What the post going around does is make the percentage a percentage of Bernie's votes, not all the votes So there's a discrepancy of 20% vs 23%, and the guy divides 3% by 20% to get 15%, then says it's a "15-point discrepancy" This is massively dishonest
