yes, they are open till 9pm. that is irrelevant to your post regarding Drudge interferring with the Florida election because he posted VNS data projecting Gore the winner while some parts of Florida was still voting.
Drudge wasnt making any personal projection of a victor then and he's not tonight. He is just repeating the exit polling. If this information is too overwhelming for someone to understand I suggest instead of trashing Drudge they either take a course in statistics or stay off his website.
