3. Also, since you are claiming that exit polls are not accurate can you give me an example of an uncontested election that had similar exit poll errors? Further, if you are right, why would the news media use a tool to predict results that they know is not reliable? That does not seem to be in their interest. And you are still ignoring the argument of the mathematician...
1. This is true. But there is a vast difference between a verifiable difference of 8500 more votes than voters, and cry-babying about "rigged voting machines". One can be proven, while the other is simply conjecture and speculation.

2. Politics.

3. The news media is profit driven. Profits come from advertisers. Advertisers will spend more money on the networks that have more viewers. Networks aim for more viewers by trying to be the "first with the news". It isn't hard to figure out.
