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

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

You can see the interrelationship between these two problems: the work to stay accurate goes up, while our capacity to monitor declines — PolitiTweet.org
