Monitoring the U.S. Elections Online?

shahman wonders: "I'll be on the road all day this election day, so the only access I'll have is through my PDA/Phone. I was wondering if any Slashdot readers know of WAP-enabled services or low-bandwidth sites that are providing (semi) real-time election coverage?" Nobbin has a similar, but less bandwidth-restrictive question: "I was wondering where I could find live results for the coming U.S. election, online. I live in Australia so I can't get them through watching CNN and so forth. I'm looking for something similar to the Austalian Electoral Commission's virtual tally room. So far, Google hasn't turned up much."

An Excuse to Hide the Truth? by Lucas+Membrane · 2004-11-01 20:04 · Score: 0, Troll

There is no such thing as a reliable source of exit polling data in this country, and IMO there shouldn't be. There was a small controversy about this after the last election
Huh? Exit polls told way too much truth. The exit polls said Gore won Florida. According to the voters, Gore won Florida. If the 19,000 fubar butterfly ballots had been counted as the voters intended, you damn near got a landslide.
