Related: About this forumIA needs to release all the results at once.

(3,649 posts)1. I agree with that.
If the race is as tight as estimates are making it out to be, releasing incomplete results may make it seem like a candidate won when in fact they did not once the rest of the precincts are included. This whole thing has been a giant mess.
