“In Minnesota for example, the most recent poll before the election was eleven days old ... and those state polls are very tricky anyhow because it's a smaller sample, and small differences in turnout between big cities and rural areas could make a big difference," Newport said. "Those models sounded scientific, but they were relying on inferior polling at the state level in these difficult to poll states that are toss-up states.”

So the pollsters know Minnesota is a difficult state to poll AND the polls were days old AND the polls were inferior.

They allegedly knew this and still reported the polls presuming they were accurate?

This article is a big CYA.
