Avedon Carol: Winning does not settle it

Something I've found annoying this cycle is that no one has been talking about the exit polls. This seems very odd to me. Don't you want to know? Don't you want to know whether "the exit polls were right" or not? Don't you have any questions about any races? Sure, we won, but don't we still need to know, and don't we realize we still need to use every tool in the box to ensure fair elections? It's important, people.

I'm really unhappy about this. Why are we seeing so little about exit polls? Oh, yes, it's because the networks have been fairly secretive about the numbers this time. Why is that? Why shouldn't we always be able to compare those numbers? Who is it who benefits from keeping those numbers secret? Not the voters, that's for sure.
