Will there be any state exit polls on Tuesday night?

Asking for a friend.

1. are they even relevant with early voting?

Presumably the most ardent supporters on both sides will have already voted. What would exit polls achieve at this point?

[Funtatlaguy]

2. Good question. I guess they could be added to the early voting

Turnout models for some predictors?

5. I think that the early voting has greatly undermined

overall exit polls. Other than in those states that have Election Day Only voting.

With early voting all we can know is the party registration (if it exists, some states don't register by party) and you still can't be certain exactly how the person voted. Plus, in states that are overwhelmingly one party (think Kansas or New Mexico), in the first a lot of Democrats register and Republican and in the second it's vice versa. People will do that so they can vote in the primary of the majority party, because many races are determined at that point.

3. I would think so in bellweather congresional races for sure, but that is all done by media

outlets, so accuracy will be suspect.

4. I think most news organizations, at least here in Va., have gone to monitoring bell-weather precincts

They look at actual vote numbers from 2 or 3 solid red precincts, 2 or 3 solid blue and some swing ones before calling
