There are no rules or laws. It's just ethical considerations by news agencies to not release complete exits or officially project a state until polls close there to avoid influencing the results. But they will release sort of read-between-the-lines early exits during the day.

I think media outlets have to agree to not report topline numbers (or numbers that could allow people to reverse engineer topline numbers) until polls close.

exit polls are done by each organization. they're not official. they have a general rule amongst themselves not to release topline numbers.

Yea no laws, just a general agreement to not give official projections until things close up to avoid any appearance of 'well we were GONNA win until these assholes called it early!!!!'

Can we get a source on that? Testifying doesn't mean shes on trial. And the Clinton's have been targeted by dumb investigations since the mid 90's. It's nothing but bullshit.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/loca...e7df_story.html

Also it's not like the most juicy scandal but federal law was in fact likely broken, and although Hillary describes her motive as "convenience" it's not improbable that she put the emails on a private server to evade FOIA requests which is both a hit against transparency and an indication that there might be something unseemly going on there (like Clinton Foundation pay for State Department play)

If her preferred candidate lost things would go very much against her interests.
if her less preferred candidate lost things wouldn't go any better. And what if it turns out only her more preferred choice could have won? Or what if both her preferred and less preferred candidates both could have won? All I'm saying is that if you're going to vote strategically you should be doing so on a at least somewhat substantial basis and that the conventional wisdom that Hillary is more electable is highly questionable.

Of which there is no proof yet. This the exact same ANYDAY NOW stuff we got during Bengazhi when THIS was FINALLY the investigation, subpoena, ect that would reveal the truth and bring her down. Funny enough it made her more popular.

It is not highly questionable. While I believe that Bernies chance of losing would be low, it is a thing. Again I say this as someone who voted for Bernie today. There are a lot of people in situations were they can't afford to take anything but the safest bet.

People usually decide who they support, then, backwards from that, decide the rationale.

People decide to support Hillary -> they say that experience is important.
People decide to support Bernie -> they say trustworthiness/shares my values is important.
