4. Considering the huge number of absentee ballots cast

I'm not sure that exit polls will be all that reliable.

6. Yeah, but...

Many/most of those votes were cast before the recent allegations. If anything, they will be worse returns than the "in-person" vote. So if "yes" is up a couple percent at the end of the day? We may not "officially know" it's over, but we will "know".

On the otehr hand, even if we're winning by a percent or two at the end of the day? We'll have a few sleepless nights waiting to confirm.

Do any DU'ers know anything about this company?
