I just heard something about this on the news so I was wrong about the polls over
the entire state being closed before the projection was made.
Don't know what effect that too-early projection would have on the voters on the
western side of the state. So far I haven't heard anything from those voters
themselves about that, just concerns expressed by election officials. Doesn't mean
those voters aren't talking though.
