Early on Election Day, it’s fair to say that nobody knows anything. Those observing elections can try to decipher clues from turnout and other things, but really, we won’t have anything close to complain information until the returns start coming in at night.
A moment on Fox News’ morning show on Tuesday indicated just how little we know- even if it might have been a bit off-message for that network.
According to The Daily Beast, on Tuesday morning Fox and Friends correspondent Will Cain visited. diner in North Carolina, which is believed to be a key swing state in this election. While the diner was full of what the Beast described as “MAGA diehards,” and all said they believe Trump will win the state, one man there said the opposite.
A man named George told Cain that while he supported Trump, he was skeptical that his candidate would win the state.

“I’ve been to the polls two or three times with my children who are first time voters—and they voted the correct way,” George said on TV. “And every time I was there I was outnumbered 20, 30 to one and in some cases it was worse than that.”
It’s not clear how he knew he was “outnumbered,” or whether that particular polling place should be considered a bellwether for the whole state.
Fox News, ironically, has a shown called Outnumbered, in which one male is on a panel with four women, and Cain has appeared on that show.

Cain seems to be the designated Election Day diner correspondent on Fox and Friends. On Super Tuesday back in March, this time in Texas, one woman voter told Cain, speaking about Nikki Haley, that “I wouldn’t vote for a woman, and especially — Nikki Haley, I’m just going to say this, she’s probably menopausal, we don’t need that.”
