When "Dewey beat Truman" (sic) in 1948,
The NBC radio host (I believe) spent most of the night stating that although Truman was leading by a wide enough margin, Dewey would overtake him when “the rural precincts come in”.
Well, they’re still waiting for those “rural precincts”, aren’t they? Fuck these media assholes, then and now.
