2. Naw, he didn't win
It was those crazies who were too afraid to admit they voted for the other guy. Yea, that's what happened.

5. The cable networks evidently didn't get the same talking points
CNN was reporting that there was only about a 35% turnout, so the polls were kept open longer to allow more people the time to vote.

FOX has been reporting that the turnout was so huge, they had to keep the polls open.

And I love how exit polls are only correct in other countries, but the "greatest country on Earth" can't seem to count.

11. But they were correct here.
It's the final vote that was not right. And intentionally so.

8. So, in reality the other guy won.
At least that's how it worked for Bush.
