"Airing these comments struck me as very unprofessional," say a couple of viewers from Christiansburg. "Of course anyone who had been following polling information probably knew this. Still, most of us--unlike Prof. Sabato--do not have access to exit polls. Upon hearing reports that two statewide races were over, a few people probably decided not to vote. These few votes would not have changed the election. But the Virginia political system could hardly be hurt by more people participating. In the future I hope that you will refrain from announcing that the election is over until everyone has at least had the chance to vote."
