From ABC's The Note, concerning exit polling in CT Today

There are no pooled network exit polls. The Connecticut Legislation and Elections website (LINK and LINK) will be updated continually, as soon as information comes in. The state is using a brand new system, which may or may not work. Should the system not work, officials are prepared with a spreadsheet and the site should be updated at roughly fifteen minute intervals with results.

Lever machines will dominate in today's primary, with a smattering of optical scan voting places. And here is a chart, courtesy of the excellent folks at the AP, detailing the timing of the reporting of results on election night in 2004 to use as a guide for tonight.

First Reports from Counties: 8:35 pm ET

20% of Precincts Statewide by: 10:00 pm ET

90% of Precincts Statewide by: 1:01 am ET (Wednesday)

100% of Precincts Statewide by: 9:44 am ET (Wednesday)

I'll be out drinking tonight! Hopefully I'll have something to celebrate at closing time!

I have this horrid feeling that joe is going to pull it off.

I was just logging in to ask about exit polls and why we haven't heard anything.

:hi:

It was my eagerness to see exit polling that led me to this.

That's what got me thinking. Great minds...

:-)

:sarcasm:

It's not too reassuring.

I don't know what is at the back end and how secure it is.

I'm so worried about this race, Joe has to go down in Flame...

Welcome to DU! :hi:

Welcome! :hi:

That sinking 2004 feeling is coming back....


As Stalin said, "it doesn't matter who votes, it's only who counts the votes that matters" (paraphrasing)

hopefully i'll be sober enough to read the tv screen. it's my birthday, so i'm already half in the bag.

:bounce: :toast:

May it be an auspicious one, and may Ned win big.

oh, and how much fun it was to hear that Lamont won. I went shouting through the streets...
