Let me see if I have this right, as this could well be a computer security 
issue (the reported discrepancies between the exit polls and the actual 
vote, with an interesting correlation to the actual vote-recording box 
used in that area).

Or doesn't the statistical bell-curve work here?

You don't vote for your beloved leader (as they do in some places).  You 
don't even vote for your beloved party (as they do in Britain and 
Australia, the former being where I was born and the latter being where I 
live).

Instead, you vote for a bunch of people who will vote on your behalf, 
usually by ignoring the popular vote and casting it 100% for their party.

What did I miss?
