Please don't post results from Votecastr tomorrow

The results, like all early exit polls,are likely to be incorrect in either direction. They can give a false impression of the race and may affect turnout. Since more republicans tend to vote on Election Day, I fully expect this to be displayed in their results, though we will lead overall. The ONLY number that counts is the official raw vote total that is certified by the various embargoed newsgroups.
