In almost every other country, polls are used to ensure accuracy of the election results. If the results are far off from the polls, it brings the election system under scrutiny. Why is it that the opposite holds true here?

What's the point of having polls if we just throw them out if the election results go the other way?

If there is no evidence of voter fraud found by professionals and unbiased observers, then obviously it was the polls that were wrong, oversampling perhaps... This is how it happens in other countries as well (am European). Assuming there was rigging because you don't see how the result could have happened is very Trumpian.

So pointing out that the "election" was 15 points off from every single poll is "Trumpian." Stupendous!

Putting a fair election in quotation marks certainly is. And sure then, I pronounce that Sanders stole the Michigan primary from Hillary Clinton, poll basis, no proof needed. IceSpear was right about D-KY avatars.
