What do you mean by "verifiable results" ? None of the rest of the paragraph
seems to have anything to do with the words preceeding the colon. By
"verifiable results" do you mean that the election confirms the poll data?
Most of us non-specialists think that verification of results means that the
poll was counted correctly, but I suspect that you meant something else by
"verification", since the rest of this was about voters talking to each
other, not about how polls were conducted.
