When will we know the results?

Yeah, I heard the MSM would be running exit polls all day, but it doesn't appear to be the case.

I look at this as a great sign! The longer they wait to release exit polling, the more encouraged I'll be that he's doing great..

You just know that if exit polls had Ron Paul low, they'd be all over it. You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to understand this!

I have a good feeling about today :)
 
Will we know exit poll results sooner?

No, we won't:

Looking for leaked exit poll results from New Hampshire? Sorry to disappoint, but whatever their merits, we are unlikely to see any such leaked results until moments before the polls close.

In past years, the network consortium that conducts the exit polls distributed mid-day estimates and tabulations to hundreds of journalists that would inevitably leak. In 2006, however, the networks adopted a new policy that restricted access to a small number of analysts in a "quarantine room" for most of the day and did not release the results to the networks and subscriber news organizations until just before the polls closed (information that did ultimately leak to blogs). As far as I know, that process will remain in place today.

Guys, you CAN'T release any results (even polls) before the voting stops. Hearing results has a remarkable effect on voting turnout.


There is a chance that the exit polls might leak a few minutes before 8pm, but it's not that likely. To make sure that nothing gets out, the networks are "quarantining" their exit poll analysts in separate rooms to try to make it impossible for any information to get out early.
 
I'm in NH with OLFD. I believe that the grassroots is conducting exit polling, but I doubt that we will get the results posted before the MSM.
 
I guess it is good that there isn't a constant barrage of exit poll results. But I'm going crazy not knowing how it's going. AAAAAAArrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh this is going to be a long day!!!

Ha ha, I live in Korea and it's almost 3 am here so I'm going to bed in a bit and I'll wake up just in time for the results tomorrow.

:D
