13. And the eastern half of Kentucky is more likely to favor Paul, although it |
|
does contain Lexington. We won't see the Louisville precincts for an hour. I think they're trying to suppress turnout there.

They do it all the time when they know it will help their causes and candidates.

4. Exit polls are supposed to embargoed until polls close. |
|
They usually leak to the internet, but if Fox is pushing them already, then that is pretty shady.

6. It certainly should be. Screws with voter turnout and they know it. Look at what |
|
happened with Florida in 2000.

14. Because BS propaganda comes naturally |
|
to them. They are known liars. they edit in old footage of rallies to falsify the number of people attending tea party events and lie all freaking day. They aren't called FAUX news for nothing.
Can you turn the channel? You'll give yourself heartburn watching Fox.

19. Florida 2000 - "Bush winning/won" message told Panhandle people (Pensacola) not to bother |
|
as most of Florida is EDT where the Panhandle is Central for poll closing. Many heard that at dinner and didn't bother to head to the polls.
They are trying to influence voters, either to go out and vote (high Dem turnout) or not bother (Republicans have sealed it).
*sigh*
