So, it's 0633 in the UK on Thursday, 23 June. I listened to BBC on our local public radio station, and the BBC reported that the polls were going to open - and I expected that the polls would have been closed for quite some time by the time I was listening. In the U.S., the news agencies would have called the election, often basing their predictions on 25% of the total vote. And oftentimes, U.S. candidates will concede to their opponent after only 25% of are counted.

I found a page titled How the BBC reports EU referendum polling day. Apparently, the BBC does not get into this crazy business of shoestring predictions. They don't report election results until they have a good measure of certainty.

It may surprise some of you across the pond, but many of us Americans think that other nations do many things better than we do.

So, I can wait for the election results. I think the BBC policy is a better way of doing things.

Dang. I post this on what I thought was Thursday night, but it was only Wednesday. Guess I have to wait another 24 hours. Vote wisely, friends.
