It is completely corrupt that 8 days before an election we know vote totals.

[Husker24]

I didn’t think they started counting until election day.

These are not vote totals. It's poling totals. Let the reader beware.

“It is completely corrupt that 8 days before an election we know vote totals.”

if you had bothered to actually read the article, you’d know that NYT is quoting POLLING results from philly, not voting results ...

[monkeyshine]

That 24% number is not from vote counting, it is data from 2 polls. Can’t say how reliable it may be without digging deeper. May have to go to the NYT story to find out. It could be polls made directed to Philly voters, or it may just be data broken out from larger national polls in which case it would probably be an unreliable small subset of voters.

Hopefully these are either exit polls, or estimates based on voter registration. Hopefully, not vote counts.

We know ballot totals

[Jacquerie]

In the Framers’ system, the vote totals weren’t known until the President of the Senate read them aloud to a joint session of Congress.

[Vermont Lt]

It’s a poll.
