One company will break with exit-polling tradition on Tuesday and release results of its surveys throughout Election Day rather than waiting until all votes have been cast in a particular state.
Votecastr plans to release its first real-time projections at 8 a.m. Eastern, Politico reports.
Slate and Vice News have partnered with the firm.
The plan has been met with concerns that reporting on voting as it happens could affect the outcome if people who would have voted decide against it because they believe the outcome has already been determined.
Some speculated that Florida Panhandle voters stayed home in 2000 after the race was prematurely called when polls closed in the Eastern time zone. The Panhandle is in Central time, and polls stayed open an hour later.

All in an effort to help Hillary. And not a damn thing anyone can do about it?
Exit polling has been known to be way off.
We know they’re gonna skew the numbers towards Hillary to try and depress the Trump vote. It won’t work this time. Every Trump supporter knows what’s at stake. They could declare Hillary the winner and I’m still gonna stay in line no matter what to cast my vote for Trump. It’s a battle for our minds. The left is out of ammo and now they have to resort to vote stealing and voter suppression if Hillary has any chance to win. This time tomorrow night I think we’ll all be happy campers.
So what they will try to do is post early exit polls showing Crooked Hillary with large leads in all the battlegrounds in the hopes that they will discourage Trump supporters and cause them to stay home.
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!
At a MINIMUM, Trump has 259 EVs locked up. The Romney states from 2012 (206) and the remaining 53 from FL, OH, and IA.
Therefore the anti-Trump Republicans and Democrats are conspiring to suppress the Trump vote tomorrow so that they can hold on to the remaining battlegrounds.
Don't fall for it! Get out and VOTE!
Yep. It is a mirage.
Not at all. I was just listening to President Kerry explain how spot-on it is last night.
The Hillary gas lighting will go all the way until it can go no further. She’s paid for it all, she’s going to get every last effort from the media. Defeating the establishment will take every bit of perseverance that can be mustered.
I remember how the news media were calling it for Kerry in the late afternoon in 2004.
Yeah they were way off in 2000 and 2004. It seems to happen when the Republican wins it.
Ignore them and wait for real vote count.
Slate and Vice? Great....2 leftist entities.
Well if they say she is winning why go out and vote for her then if its in the bag.
Not the problem. But how many decide to not vote when they here the polling data.
I’d lie to them and tell them I voted for Hillary. Or at the very least tell them my vote is none of their damned business.
Exactly. They might suppress the Hillary vote, especially since there is no enthusiasm for her.
Ouija boards are more reliable than exit polling. Just ignore it and vote like your country’s survival depends upon it because it does.
And don’t cooperate with exit pollers
They are working to advance the legion of evil
It’s that stark
I move for JimRob to ban exit poll postings.
We should wait for the raw vote Tuesday night. ;-)
Slate and Vice aren’t exactly CBS and NBC.
I’d be surprised if 3 percent of the population knows or hears about this.
