Election. one thing on the 49% believe the allegations or most of them to be true, 45% false. i found this fascinating. it speaks to how partisanship has won no matter who wins. 9 in 10 people who voted for roy moore said the allegations are false. 9 in 10 people who voted for doug jones say the allegations are true. what does it tell you? its one state, but two totally different worlds where facts are whether or not they re-enforce what you already believe. >> looking at the exit poll data as i...
