The Race For 2024

Among those who have already voted, PBS says, Harris leads 56 percent to 42 percent. Almost 80 million ballots have been cast.

I don't like this info being released. It feels wrong.

Feels like insider trading or something.

Plus... I think that would be likely to backfire. If early votes get released showing Harris with a substantial lead, it seems like it would motivate Trump supporters to go vote when they might have otherwise sat at home and done nothing. Same thing in reverse if the early votes showed Trump ahead. Either way, it seems like a bad idea to me.

Backfire would imply that this info was released biased motive.

I don't see how this is any different that releasing Exit Polling data as the day goes on. They don't do that, so why do this?

I agree. However that will result in not all ballots being counted on Election Day. And it’s just not humanely possible to count all those votes in one day. The country cannot allow Trump to stop the counting early. All legal votes should be counted! Every single one.
