Heh with 1 of 21 reporting Druh Farrell is being out voted 10:1 by the leader. I hope that keeps up.

I'm no expert at counting...but how can you declare that with only 3% of the polls reporting

The fact that they already tallied CaptainCrunch's vote for Jon Lord.

Because you can see a pattern emerging throughout several areas of the city.

I don't understand how anyone could vote for John Lord. Dude seems insane.

My not-so-secret hope is that Nenshi wins with about 90% of the vote and Rick Bell retires after realizing nobody is buying his faux outrage and man of the people act.

They're thinking of probability that the other 97% are voting so differently that the 3% already reporting.
It's unlikely to them that the other polls will so radically hate Nenshi compared to the current reporting that he won't win.

Everyone wants to be first to call it, like that really matters or something.

I remember Obama's first term, CNN called it the SECOND the polls closed on the west coast. So... 0% of the west coast vote in.

100% guaranteed they focus on low voter turnout tomorrow, and not so subtly hint that things would have been different if it weren't for voter apathy, despite the fact that most of the people not voting are those who would vote for Nenshi but know there's no point.

US federal politics is different, though. By that point, Obama had won enough states elsewhere in the country, and the outcome from Washington, Oregon, California, and Hawaii was never in doubt.

There is nothing worse in election coverage then reading peoples tweets, then discussing what they mean.

Just checked, Rick Bell already using that excuse:
rick bell @sunrickbell 28m Can you imagine what would happen if there was a decent voter turnout? Where is the count? #sunvote

And also because they do pretty sophisticated exit polling, so they know within a few percent what the results will be as the polls close.
