Ohhhh yeah, the old trick where the polls close in the more populous eastern part of the state, and then the state-controlled dinomedia reports the “projected” results, and it skews the vote in the west, where the polls are still open for another hour.

Or report that all the polls are closed when the panhandle still had an hour to go, as they did in 2000?

I would hope conservatives weren’t so stupid as to fall for this old “trick”.

Reminds of the urban myth that some Republicans would hear on the radio that so-and-so has won due to exit polls and would turn around from going to vote and go home.

Seriously, what kind of idiot does that? To me, anyone that did or does isn’t a dedicated voter and we probably don’t want their vote.
