while losing both the white and latino vote. And somehow she won in the most populated Latino areas, too, according to real votes cast. This link is helpful:

Not all Latinos live in Latino precincts, I guess.

by 10 or 11 points and still wins by 6? Obviously the entrance poll was off.

Predictive statistics based on unproven assumptions that say I'm right must always be valued over descriptive statistics that say I'm wrong.

I predicted last year that I'd have $20k in the bank by now for a new car. I had my assumptions and a baseline. Therefore, when the bank says I have far less than that in the bank the bank must be mistaken and stole my money. (Even if there's no mechanism I can show that I had the money and the bank actually took it. Either the bank's lying, or they stole it.)

And, yes, if I applied that level of innumeracy to literacy skills, eyed bea a rightn reel goodnow, lighk juan've demdair proepheshunl riduhs.

10. A properly done entrance or exit poll should accurately reflect the actual voting, though

Though "properly done" is the operative phrase here. There is always the possibility for selection bias, on the part of both pollsters and respondents.
