    Question - why do CNN not report their exit polls (at least the numbers) in their TV coverage? Is it just to maintain the suspense and keep people watching?

    Trump doing better in Rural areas worse in Urban areas, since there are more Urban than Rural areas he loses.

    That's correct. The precinct officials read the results off the machines and phone them in. None of these results we get on the night are officially certified. It's not like the UK where the result isn't revealed until the returning officer declares the official, certified result.

    No, more rural areas but less voters in them!

    Did anyone take my tip


    Per CNN, Jason Kander is ahead in the early exit polls. This would be a huge pickup for the Dems. http://www.cnn.com/election/results/exit-polls/missouri/senate …

  • SaltireSaltire Posts: 525
    On Senate news from 538:
    Perhaps the most shocking result so far is in Missouri. Democrat Jason Kander looks to be running very strongly in the exit polls. That would be a huge pickup for Democrats.

    They look like they have a a 54-46 lead on the exit poll which would make it much more likely that they get to 50+ they need.

    Apparently the vote reporting showing as 0% means it's just the early voter count. So Clinton still has a load of votes in the South East.

    700,000 votes counted in Dade but described as 0% - so need to be careful.

    How many total votes in Dade in 2012?

    Yes, the way we do it is bullshit.

    The Americans can call their election at the same time we do, despite the 5+ hour time difference.

    Still lots of precincts to report in heavily Democratic Miami, which should counterbalance the Panhandle.

    Having been to a fair few counts I'm much happier reporting tallies of all votes not a partial guesstimate

    Fiddling around verifying every ballot box to the last vote takes a lot of the time in the UK. It's a safeguard, I guess, although the likelihood of either stuffing or removing votes from the box even without it seems low.

    They certainly aren't votes.

    I think they're precincts but be careful they can be completed precincts so highly misleading when partial precinct in.
