What America really needs is a credible hearing into the merits of exit-polling and the television networks' effects on nationwide elections. Although highly unlikely because of First Amendment issues, a ban on exit-polling could conceivably end election night mishaps. But, a more feasible solution would be to decide on a uniform time to close polls nationwide. The job of the media is report the news, not become the news. Unfortunately, the only thing anyone will remember from that historic election night was the way the media ruined it.
