In order for the news programs to report a winner, polling information must be collected from each state to determine which candidate won the majority of votes. “There’s a consortium that’s formed by all the different media organizations that purchase exit polling data from a particular group of opinion researchers who have, essentially, the ability to predict,” said UW-Madison political science Professor Dhaven Shah.
