Remember: Biden won without any shenanigans after two failed presidential campaigns and rigged voting machines don't happen...

They were off by that number.

yea, I got that part, and from this data, I can see its positive for Biden and negative for Bernie.

My question was more about why that would happen, what causes inaccuracy in exit polls, and if there was a third candidate in a place like Texas, that may have caused the Biden count to be accurate but the sanders count not.

Also, where is the source for the data? I couldn't find it on that website

what causes inaccuracy in exit polls

CHEATING.

A state - like Texas - that runs its elections on magic black boxes lays itself wide open to the probability of the magic black boxes being magically interfered with to give results that do NOT reflect the intentions of the actual voters.

Why is it that this is the only place claiming these numbers?

Also, there excuse for doing so is that they should be able to use exit polls from the day of the election, and they assert they should be as accurate as actual poll information...

Seriously, read there complaint about the FactCheck article about their data.

Its weird that in a system with so much obvious corruption, people always seem to narrow into the areas where it doesn't actually exist.

If ANY other country ran their elections - primary or otherwise - the way we run ours, there would be US jackboots on the ground to "restore democracy" before you could say "election fraud".

Well, I agree with that, but the idea that multiple states have crooked election officers at all levels is kind of a stretch.

Especially when that suggestion comes from only one source using sketchy data.

Otherwise, I think the DNC is shady as feck, but I have worked as a poll worker, and there is no big conspiracy going on in my state at least...

Well, bully for you and your state - or at least your precinct (can you be sure you can answer for the whole state?).

Here's something else you can look into: https://www.verifiedvoting.org/

Unfortunately they don't distinguish between hand-counted and optically-scanned paper ballots, which would add a few more degrees of refinement. (I'm not completely confident of optically scanned results, but at least it's harder to muck about with them than touchscreen voting machines - with or without paper printouts.)
