Too close to call? I guess the Tory landslide just evaporated into thin air, conveniently by Election Day.

I guess we’ll have to see whether Johnson has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Too close to call....

Been a lot of that lately.

Go figure.

I'm going to post BBC Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg's comments from yesterday that have got her in some hot water, because it is illegal to report postal vote results prior to the polls closing:

BBC’s political editor was speaking to Jo Coburn on Politics Live from the campaign trail.

Asked about voter turnout ahead of the big day she said: “The forecast is that it’s going to be wet and cold tomorrow.

“The postal votes have already arrived.

“The parties are not meant to look at it but they do get a hint and on both sides people are telling me that the postal votes that are in are looking pretty grim for Labour in a lot of parts of the country.”

Exit polls get released when the polls close at 10:00pm GMT (5:00pm EST).

“Too close to call” is what we were told in 1980 on election day. It’s an effort by the Leftist media to get their Labour/Lib Dims out to vote. Some polls have moved towards Labour, and none still show the Conservatives leading by 15 percent (last week’s outlier), but the Conservatives need some voters voting Liberal Demonrat to take a bunch of marginal districts. That is expected, but the Liberal Dems are expected to lose half their seats, all to the Conservatives and the SNP (Scottish separationists). Labour is expected to lose 20-60 seats and gain 0-1.
