1) Polls open till 9PM EST in NY (I could be wrong on this) 2) Drudge is NOT a reliable source for election data see post 15
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.

What I do understand is the media has no business projecting results BEFORE the polls are closed.
Reference: Presidential election night 2000
I don't got to Drudge's site simply because I find a lot of his data unreliable.
i.e. our troops got injured, etc. etc. too much negative military news, not enough "our guys did good."
I only read what others post from his site.
I have no "personal" beef with Drudge
