That'd make sense but so would mandatory voting and not holding the bloody election on a Tuesday.
I was in and out of our last election in Australia in 5 minutes, and it occurred on a Saturday.
It'd be easier to simply count all the votes cast on a convenient day for most people than apply statistical modelling to look for anomalies in predictive data.

That and then American politicians would actually have to work a lot harder, as right now they just count on mobilising their base to vote more than the other person's. I'd love for voting to be mandatory, but let's face it, American politicians love the system in its current form.
