Maybe this is just me, but it has always seemed wrong that the results were broadcast while the election is still happening. I can totally see people being swayed to just not vote because they see that their candidate is winning/losing by the afternoon.
It just seems better to wait until the end so that no one is affected by these early reports
OT: Yeah I think this is going to be a close race
