Well, of course, statistics is the basis of all science. However, statistics can be abused to tell the story you want to tell, if your sample is biased. Extrapolation is all about getting an unbiased sample that is representative of the population you want to extrapolate to. But the way the Dems use it is in order to manipulate people and as a propaganda tool, not a forecasting tool. That is what is wrong. They are oversampling Dems on purpose. It's sham statistics.
