CNN’s Statistician Might Have A Bit Of An Obama Bias

I find the US election process interesting. It’s convoluted and archaic, but insanely important to the world as a whole.

I was just looking at the results of the Indiana and North Carolina primaries today and noticed a very interesting result on CNN. I think their statistician may be a little bit biased toward Obama. I’m not sure what’s more interesting; that Obama is projected to win despite have less votes, or that he is projected to win despite 0% of votes being reported.

CNN Obama Results

Okay, in reality, the projection is probably based on exit polling, whereas the numbers are based on actual counted votes. It was still funny to see though….
