  1. “This outcome is more evidence that election polls in this era are not accurate.”

    That depends on what you mean by “accurate”. If by “accurate” you mean predicting the results of an election as they will be reported by election officials, you’re probably right. On the other hand, if by “accurate” you mean giving an accurate prediction of how voters actually voted using black box, electronic voting machines of “this era”, you’re probably wrong.
