Exit Polls are not the same as Exit Polls?

Republican logic. You've gotta love it.

Example:

Given an election, imagine that the exit poll results disagree with the official counts. What is the reason for this discrepancy?

Well, if the election happens in the United States, the exit polls are obviously flawed. But if the election happens in the Ukraine, the official counts are obviously wrong.

There are two possible reasons for this. 1) Ukrainian exit polls are somehow vastly superior to American exit polls.

Or, 2) THE REPUBLICANS ARE CHEATING AND THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT IT.

NEW YORK - It was a spectacular irony - a Republican senator using the word “fraud” about the presidential election. More spectacular still, he was visiting his condemnation of apparent election manipulation on the incumbent party. And beyond all that, he and others based their conclusions largely on the incredible disparity between the last exit polls and the vote count itself. Of course, Indiana’s Richard Lugar was talking about the presidential election in the Ukraine.
