1. I don't know how they could do that...

That's well before the polls close.

[requiem99]

2. Based on exit polling...

5. Yeah but CNN promised this morning they were not doing that.

3. I thought that they had all agreed not to post exit data

In order to avoid suppressing turnout.

4. Exit polling is going to be wrong

democrats got to get to work. don't have time for it. Its based on bad math. Chaos theory baby.

6. They will not post presidential election results

They will only post the results to questions like "IS the country moving in the right direction?" Do you approve or disapprove of the job Bush has done?" What is the most important issue that you voted on?

They can't release the results of who the voter voted for until the polls close

7. Updated is PAST tense

8. That's not what "Updated 3:27pm EST" means......

That's the time that the web page was last modified. In other words, their programmers finished working on the page and made it available to the web at 3:27pm yesterday. That is not an indication of when the page will be updated next........
