I'm not good at math, but people keep passing this chart around in reddit-logo

But I keep seeing people in the comments debating whether this is actually "impossible" or not, using stats terms I'm not familiar with. Also idk the source of this graph so maybe it's bs.

Exit poll surveys are illegal in Venezuela and have never been practiced before this so I don't think we should put any stock in them - especially because the company performing them (Edison Research) literally works for the US government. Its main contracts are with Radio Free Europe/Asia and Voice of America, US State Department run propaganda news outlets.
