Does the increase in early/mail-in voting make exit polls less accurate?

With the post election analysis going on right now, there seems to be a ton of weight being put behind exit polling (so and so got x% of women voters, etc) to the point where they just are presented as fact. As early voting and mail-in voting increases around the country, aren't those exit polls getting more and more unreliable? I don't see that discussion happening anywhere and perhaps I have a misunderstanding of what an exit poll even is. I've never been polled in any way after voting myself and as I understand it polling is already not as reliable as they're presented. So should we put as much trust into these exit polls?

Dear Americans, be prepare to get screwed!
  • I believe that he does, and he knows shit will cost more, but he ALSO knows that his followers have no clue whatsoever. So prices will increase, and he'll blame it on one of their many "others". Keeping them scared and mad is the key to their control over them

  • California Voted for Slavery
  • I bet the wording on the ballot was different. Similar election results sites for my local ballot measures hasve greatly simplified the language the ballot had (which honestly is probably how ballot measures should be written)

  • The millennial council
  • I think this is honestly it. I was in 5th grade and remember all of it (and the world response to it) very vividly. I really miss being able to greet people at the gate when they came to visit :(

  • "political differences"
  • It really has become too much imo. It's not my flag so really I don't want it to change because of my thoughts, but I feel like objectively as a flag it has become way too complex. That and the fact that it's continuously changing still makes it all the more confusing.

  • "How am I supposed to explain this to my children?!"
  • Ehhh, that greatly depends on the church. There are still a lot of churches out there that are totally on board with hating anyone who isn't perfectly straight. You know, that kind of hate that Jesus preached about all the time! People wouldn't have as many issues with Christians if they actually followed Jesus's teachings, but here we are.

  • 'Everyone in the World Needs to See This': Footage Shows IDF Drone Killing Gazans
  • In the case of makeshift drones dropping grenades in Ukraine you'd be right. However, these aren't off the shelf drones repurposed for dropping bombs, these are strikes from military drones just like the ones the US uses regularly (wonder where Israel got theirs)
