74. The 'official' explanation (one of) is that the early polls
were 'raw' -- not adjusted for the fact that the polls were stratified (poll locations were chosen randomly, but voters who vote at that poll are a non-random sample) -- and the later polls were correctly adjusted.
The reasons the 'official' explanation blows chunks is that (1) the polls were reported for critical categories (male/female; white/non-white) separately and (2) the data reported in the media was not 'raw' -- it had already been adjusted and was ready for public consumption.
The 'massaging' was mixing in the fraudulent tabulated votes with the exit poll data.
