So here’s the updated results of our very scientific “Presidential Preference Exit Poll” … for the past 3 weeks we’ve been sending Porkchop out once a week to set up along a busy exit ramp (or street), to ask people to honk their horns either once for Trump or twice for Hilary. We’ve switched the honking votes from week to week in the interest of fairness, and Chop has a sign that tells the passing drivers how to vote. Here is the rolling results of this very scientific process … and we still can’t believe that #FoxNews or #CNN hasn’t asked us for our weekly results!
