Belated Question

[Dinger]

Not that it natters now, but why weren't there exit polls on Tuesday? Is that normal procedure or was a decision made to do something different this time? Just asking.

1. My understanding is that in that instance it was normal....

.... I'm just not sure if it was because of it being a special election or because it was a state-wide election.

2. It takes a while to set up exit polling and the media didn't think it would be a hot election

By the time it became a big national story it was too late to set-up exit polling.
