How Election Week 2022 Went Down

The votes are continuing to come in very slowly in Kentucky and the anti-abortion ballot amendment is getting closer: Right now, with 19 percent of the expected vote reporting, we’re seeing 54 percent on the “no” side (the abortion-rights side) and 46 percent on the “yes” side (the anti-abortion side). More competitive than it was a while ago, but still a healthy lead for the abortion-rights side.

You’ve probably noticed cable-news networks and others citing election “results” from exit polls — for example, “voters over age 60 are supporting Walker X percent to Y percent” or somesuch. We recommend taking these numbers with a big grain of salt. At this point, exit polls are just regular old polls, subject to the same errors that preelection polls are. They don’t gain any special powers until after the election, when they are reweighted to match the final election results. That means the numbers you’re seeing right now will almost certainly change.

ABC News projects a Republican win in FL-27.
