Can we do new polls in the swing States?

Asking who they voted for for President. The latest reliable poll numbers we seen here on DU just before
the election had Kamala leading in 6 of the 7 States. How could she lose all 7?

Let's do some after election polling, if they show TSF won all 7 then so be it we can live with the truth and
deal with the Fascism coming.

But if they show Kamala should have won most of them then we can develop a plan to keep him out of the
White House. F**king cheaters should never be allowed to win and I don't care if the way our laws are written
dictate TSF gets the crown, there are laws against stealing, one is in the 10 Commandments that Rs love.

2. After election polling is meaningless

and all the polling showed a tight race within the margin of error. The results are not contradicted by the polling,

6. How can you say "After election polling is meaningless"

Wouldn't one need a post election poll first on which to make that statement? We are so divided right
now whether it was a fair election or not.

Doing some post election polls would not hurt anybody, so why not do them? That would help us all
get on the same page. I think they cheated, others say we lost, let's use everything to find the truth.

9. Polling is intrinsically inaccurate

Due to margin of error. Any after-election is not going to accurate capture the vote because there is no way to verify that the sample exactly mirrors the 2024 electorate.

3. There is no reason to believe the polls will be any more accurate then the pre election ones

Most all showed it within the margin of error. Additionally, some of those polls that showed small trump leads were dismissed by many here as republican junk polls. Turns out polls like Atlas Intel, Trafalgar, and Quantas were fairly close to the final results. More so then the other main stream polls.

4. They were all within the margin of error.

Basically a crapshoot that didn't go our way. Still bad, but, because the EV count is lopsided, the media makes it seem like a landslide. It definitely was not that. It's the mirror image of Biden's win 4 years ago. It SEEMS overwhelming, but it actually was not. 2-3% points in multiple states. It could just has easily have gone the other way, especially if more voters had voted.

8. This wouldn't mean anything, besides it's a known phenomenon in polling that people will say they voted for the winner
