85. TIA, you are still using exit polls as accurate predictors
and they have been proven not to be so. IMHO their main use
is in learning about how different blocks are voting, to an
aproximate degree. Exact accuracy here is not paramount.

OTOH selected key precinct actual results have much-much
higher reliablity in predicting election results earlier than
waiting for total final count.
