Is there some kind of compact that news folks don't start talking about exit polls till after that state polls close?
@TrueBloodNet You don't want to influence people who are yet to vote, and probably waiting in line
@Pat_Walrond The rational part of my brain knows that but that little lizard part is nagging at me! LOL (I haven't even turned on the tv yet... ) But thanks for the reminder :)

It was a big deal when networks called the 1980 presidential election before polls closed, and voters in those states decided not to bother to vote. It may have been an accurate call, but it affected down ballot races.
@EileenKCarpenter @Pat_Walrond yeah I remember. Thanks for getting my head in right
