Many asked why the needle turns off. Two related reasons. One: once our turnout estimates (200k votes left, +/- 50k) get replaced by hard facts (173k votes left), we're put in a spot where we're always inaccurate or forced to be constantly updating based on reported data. — PolitiTweet.org

I would think so. The Dems holding up well in the post-election mail increases their chances a lot in a place like WA-3, where on Election Night the needle would understandably wonder whether it's 'blue mirage' until shown otherwise https://t.co/y0580z8J1O — PolitiTweet.org

@Nate_Cohn Since the needle was turned off, would you say the Dem's chances of keeping the House have improved?

Two: we simply cannot be staffed to monitor the needle full time in perpetuity. There's one needle team -- not a day team and a night team -- and we can't do election night hours forever (esp since the pre-election period doesn't involve any sleep either) — PolitiTweet.org
