Will there be exit polls from today's 3 primaries?

There has been no coverage so far today of any of the voting.
I was expecting some coverage on turnout which I think will be low in Fla, Ill, Ariz.
Coronavirus coverage only on CNN and MSNBC.
On a normal voting day, the exit polls come out around 5pm eastern time.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

You will see karnacki, never fear.

Expect the big tease to be how the virus has impacted both turnout and demographics. They will hype how this makes the races highly volatile. You will have to watch all night just because energy!

But is increasing during the day.

850 election judges called in to say they were not coming. Last week the Governor offered to provide National Guard to staff polls for the city board of elections, and told them 2000 young “Mikvah Challenge” volunteers were ready, but both were declined!

Also 200 polling places were changed. It’s kind of a hot mess I guess. Glad I early voted last week.
