My point is that people need to think about what is said
before believing just because it was said.

Think about what the numbers mean.

1) Most major elections are closer than 5-7%.
2) For every million votes, this says the error is 50,000
to 70,000 votes. That is such a large number compared
to the margins for winner/loser that I suspect it.

If you think about it, this error makes the whole process
suspect, not just this particular election.
