My understanding is that the exit polling and Nov 2 exit polling can not be released until after the polls close on Nov 2.
Polls close where? The east coast is 3 hours ahead of the west coast. The MSM can manipulate which results they release to affect voting in states that are still voting in other time zones. Remember in 2000 the called FL when they should not have. They were slow to call W in states he carried comfortably like OH and VA while being fast to call important states Gore carried by smaller margins like PA. I think there should be a nationwide poll closing time. That way east coast results would not be used to affect voting in western states. If the Pacific time zone delayed going off daylight savings time till after the election, there would only be a two hour differnce between the east coast and west coast on election day.
