So, a little mini-thread about what New Hampshire shows us about what you can expect from the Washington Post tonight. 1/n
First, we aren't shading New Hampshire in our national map yet. We're calling this state "no clear leader." If we don't see 35% of the expected vote in, we're not shading by party. 2/n
Second, right above the national map? A surgeon general's warning that tonight could be a slow night. Important to let folks know what we know, right? 3/n
Third, right next to New Hampshire, we have some remarkable reporting on when states will start processing mail-in ballots. We'll be updating this through the night. ?/n
Finally, we've decided that it's time for "precincts reporting" to retire. This year, we have multiple sources for estimating the overall turnout and we'll be using those to show you how far along we are in the election.
In New Hampshire's case? Less than 1% of the vote. ?/n

And later tonight, once we see some counties fully reporting, we'll be able to show you our model for estimated votes remaining.
This should be a rigorous way to explain why 30ish votes in far north NH doesn't tell us much about the race.
Keep your eyes peeled, etc!
