ELECTION-WATCHING REMINDERS

1. Rural precincts always submit their results first. Heavily urbanized precincts come later.

You may panic a little when you see that Pennsylvania's first reported totals are 70% McCain/27% Obama (9% of precincts reported) but remember that rural precincts are done 30 minutes after poll closing because they only have a few hundred votes to count.

Even when they get up to "50% precincts reporting" it's important to note which 50% remains.

2. Ignore the exit polls. There is almost no scientific basis on which to call them "polls" let alone believe their results.

3. Try to do something else with your time until 8:00 EST. Watching the endless, pointless pre-game coverage is only going to make you more anxious to get the results without bringing them any nearer.

One thought on “ELECTION-WATCHING REMINDERS”

  • I would also ask all of you to keep in mind that the election is actually over once the last ballot is cast. At that moment we have a winner and a loser(s).

    Talking heads on TV like to say that an election is turning or that a state is moving in candidate X's direction hours after the polls close. Don't be that person at your election night party…
