Exit poll data can only be used this way if exit polls are mandatory, which they are not.

Exit polls are self-selecting, and statistically useless for mathematical proofs like this.



However, I suspect in a couple days this is going to produce a smashing edition of the DUmmy FUnnies!

Exit Polls were conducted in 49 of Ohio’s 11,360 precincts.

49/11360 = 0.4%

Yep, self-selected surveys of less than half of one percent of the voters are a better indicator than counting the votes of everyone.
