So, how long after poll closing do Pennsylvania and Maryland get called? (Original Post) NuclearDem Apr 2016 OP

Some of Maryland isn't closing until 9pm nt Walk away Apr 2016 #8

The networks still like being the first to call a race. There's no incentive to play it conservatively.

conduct an "exit poll" and "report" the results.
