Excerpt:

These are also errors that cannot be corrected. In a close election, projections made public while voting is still underway can affect the turn-out, and thus the result. In Florida, for instance, the most staunchly Republican counties to the west are in a different time zone from the eastern counties. They were still voting when one television channel, then another, then another, "projected" a Gore victory in the state. A scoop of this sort could have cost Bush thousands of votes.
