The big secret about Election Day is there’s almost never any relevant news until the votes are being counted in the evening.
Here are the stories you can ignore today:
Any early exit poll results leaked on social media. They carry an error far greater than a normal poll. Just ask President John Kerry.
Any anecdotal story about voter turnout on Election Day.
Any story about the campaigns gearing up their legal teams for possible recounts.

Any story about Donald Trump declaring victory.
And you can pretty much keep your television off until the first polls close at 6 p.m. ET.

@mikeharmanos I live in Valencia, Spain (lots of anxiety here among the expat community, following on the heels of an historic flood) and except for work on my laptop, I'm not tuning into anything until 9a (midnight PST) tomorrow when every poll is closed.
