Where do the MSM get their numbers
CNN, ABC, and CBS are all reporting a 10% win for Hillary, with 1,258,245 for Hillary which is 54.7% and1,042,297 for Obama which is 45.3% for a 9.4% difference, which they round to 55% and 45% and call a 10% difference. But the Pennsylvania dept. of state is reporting 1,235,067 for Hillary (54.3%) and 1,041,366 (45.7%) for Obama which is an 8.5% difference, and using their standard way of rounding would be reported as 54% and 46%, and be called an 8% difference.
Small difference in reality (0.9%) but a huge difference psychologically. But, more importantly, if the MSM is not getting their numbers from the PA Dept. of State, where do they get them from? And why have none of them updated/noticed???
