5 1/2 hours to go...

[Speed of Sound]

Well, this will be an extra thing to mash refresh on during the day.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Well, I have something to obsess over

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

This tool is an abomination

[musicblind]

Man, just a few hours until exit poll results start. I am too excited to sleep.

[Ronnie]

I'm going to really resist looking at this thread on election day.  It would totally ruin the experience of watching the returns roll in on TV, which is the best part of election night, imo.

[Southern Delegate matthew27]

How accurate is this?

[Horus]

I have a feeling that these won't be accurate at all.

How accurate is this?

That's the million dollar question, and really, only time will tell. That's why I'd caution people from jumping to conclusions too quickly.

Hey, I can try, right?

[Pandaguineapig]

This seems like something that could backfire easily lol

[Dr. Arch]

I'm thinking long and hard about whether to use this. The real fun comes from watching the actual numbers roll in.

I haven't agreed with you ... at all, but I think this thing is going to trigger multiple coronaries and nervous breakdowns.

Worth to remind about an interesting article that describes some not so obvious caveats.

I've read on Politico that Votecastr will start publishing some information starting at 8 ET.

[Andrew]

You can sign up to have projections emailed to you throughout the day.  Beats refreshing.

They should've instead published an app for Android/iOs. It's 2016, folks...

[Erich Maria Remarque]

Will they also publish estimate of early vote?

So they will publish EV estimates when they will have got the EV data (at 8.a.m.?) ??

Really can't decide if I want this or not.
