>>…If quick results, just use the exit polls.  …

>…Notoriously inaccurate…

 

Ja, so let us make sure the hand count is notoriously accurate.

 

>…Nobody is going to project a winner except in the most one-sided contests.

OK, no worries.  We can live a week or two with vaguely projected winners.  After the end of that week or two, we will know the good guys won.  Now we can’t be sure they did.  We reached this uncertainty quickly however, so we did accomplish quick uncertainty.
