Abstract
This report gives the results of the analysis of data collected from a subset of the respondents in the 1980 Presidential Election Study, which ascertained what time of day the person voted, what election night news they heard, and when they heard that news. This analysis indicates that many people heard projections of the presidential election outcome before the local polls closed, that hearing news of the projected outcome decreased the likelihood of voting among those who had not already voted, and that exposure affected the likelihood of turnout among Republicans more than among Democrats (although Democrats were less likely than Republicans to vote late on election day).
