Park your MAP on <em>Election Day Today</em>. States will be updated as soon as results are known. The color coding for Election Night: <span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><strong>BLUE</strong></em>: WIN Obama</span>,&nbsp; <span style="color: #ff0000;"><em><strong>RED</strong></em>: WIN McCain</span>,<span style="color: #00ff00;"> <em><strong>Green</strong></em>: "Too Close To Call" OR "Not Enough Data To Call"</span> after State closing; <span style="color: #808080;"><em><strong>Gray</strong></em>: State Voting Not Yet Closed</span>. For states where results are uncontested, <em>PollTrack </em>will post results onto the map without commentary. The blog will perk up only when there is something to report--the meaning of a result, a trend, an implication about the closeness or narrowness of a win. <strong><em>REFRESH </em></strong>the map/blog page to receive the most updated posts. As long as yout map is clicked onto <em>Election Day Today</em>, that map will remain on the screen when the page refreshes. Good Luck!</div> <p>&nbsp;</p> 2008-11-04T17:40:57-05:00 442 true 2008-11-04T18:12:50-05:00 2008-11-04T18:12:50-05:00 1 1 <p>Our <em>Election Day Today</em> map will be cleared back to gray over the next 24 hours in anticipation of our <em>Election Night Live Blog</em>. The <em>Election Day Map</em> will be filled in throughout the night as states are won and will serve as a record of the final results of Election 2008. <em>Tomorrow's Map Today</em> (and by Monday, Election Day will, in fact, be tomorrow) will contain <em>PollTrack's</em> final prediction of trends in the presidential race. <em>Today's Map </em>will register the state of the statewide polling <em>as is</em>, warts and all, close and not so close, ambiguous and clear-cut in the twenty-four hour period before voting actually begins. All three maps will be archived on our site and available in perpetuity, a history of this historic and exciting presidential cycle</p> 2008-11-02T23:07:17-05:00 417 true 2008-11-02T23:07:17-05:00 2008-11-02T23:07:17-05:00 1 1 <p>In anticipation of our <em>Live Blog</em> on Election night, tune in throughout the morning and afternoon of Election Day for updates on voting and trends. One thing you will not get, however: exit poll vote projections. <em>PollTrack </em>conforms to proper journalistic standards, and these include not releasing or discussing exit poll data, except demographic trends, until all of the polls are closed in a state. Given the inaccuracy of exit polls--they were often wrong during the primary and caucus season--and the need to properly weight and interpret data culled from these surveys, we will also not publish unprocessed raw exit numbers.This policy is consistent with others on our site. We are committed to fair, accurate, non-partisan analysis of elections.</p> 2008-11-02T16:04:03-05:00 413 true 2008-11-02T16:04:03-05:00 2008-11-02T16:04:55-05:00 1 1 <p><strong><em>PollTrack </em>invites you to its <em>Live Blog</em><em> </em>on election night<em>.</em></strong> Starting at 6:00 EST, as results start coming in, <em>PollTrack </em>will explain and analyze the significance of wins and loses.
