If anyone cares to do the math to compare the exit polls published by CNN near to the close with those published later, you will notice considerable discrepancies that cannot mathematically be explained.
The latter publication conforms to the public vote count.
But this is impossible.
The 330 additional respondents included in the later poll figures cannot be reconciled with the figures and percentages published earlier.
Below is a summary."
