Day of election there is a big tally when votes come in and pictures of American Democracy In Action with a bunch of puff stories about people in lines. Huge time for viewership, not a huge time for important journalism.
There is no perfect time to strike, but I think other outlets can cover the typical:
- "huge lines in Pennsylvania!"
- "Polls close in [KEY SWING STATE] in 2 hours!"
- "Wow the whole west coast went blue, who would have thought!"
- "Shocker that one battleground is going into recount which will somehow last 4 weeks."
