One report explains how the Election Day Voter Poll will gather and check data, while another highlights whether Republican and rural voters who have not responded to pollsters will vote.

The Voter Poll combines pre-election contacts, follow-ups and, in some states, traditional exit polls; its data are weighted and reviewed before reporting.
The poll is planned for 45 states with Senate or governor’s races, along with a national poll covering all states.
A separate report says Senate control and other races could be affected by whether Republican and rural voters who have not answered pollsters turn out.
