I can understand the logic perhaps IF I were an admin and had some control over what the votes in this poll were. However this is just people voting, if they think its crap don't give your vote. Or vote completely opposite how you voted in the actual election its really just for fun.

In the US exit polls are run as people exit the voting facility. They are run by candidates on both side. The republicans will go to a heavily republican population and say "WE are winning" Then dems go to a highly democratic population and claim the same thing.

I am coming to a neutral place and saying hey who did you vote for? I have no ability to change the votes shown in this poll.
