In 2004, a similar number of votes were invalidated (including an enormous pile of "provisional" ballots) by Ohio's GOP Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell. Again, the polls reflected that Kerry was the choice of 51% of the voters. But the exit polls were "wrong" because they didn't reflect the ballots invalidated by Blackwell.
Notably, two weeks after the 2004 US election, the US State Department refused the recognize the Ukraine election results because the official polls contradicted the exit polls.
And here we go again. 2016: Hillary wins among those queried as they exit the polling station--yet Trump is declared winner in GOP-controlled swings states. And, once again, the expert pollsters are forced to apologize--when they should be screaming, "Fraud! Here's the evidence the vote was fixed!"
This country is violently divided, but in the end, there simply aren't enough white guys to elect Trump nor a Republican Senate. The only way they could win was to eliminate the votes of non-white guys--and they did so by tossing Black provisional ballots into the dumpster, ID laws that turn away students--the list goes on. It's a web of complex obstacles to voting by citizens of color topped by that lying spider, Crosscheck.
