76. BS. Same tactic was tried when the exit polls did not match
Sat Oct 24, 2020, 01:19 PM
Oct 2020

the votes in Ohio 2004. The so called "expert" claimed that voters who voted for W were too ashamed to admit it and they lied to the pollsters. The funny thing--this only happened in precincts that had e-voting minus a paper trail. If there was a paper trail the exit polls matched the vote.

This tactic shows that Trump is going to try to hack the e-vote.
