> (It really can’t be published earlier. Nothing published this year will rise above the noise of the US presidential election, and anything published next spring will have to go to press without knowing the results of that election.) I can understand the first point, but why would the results of the election matter in this context? |

This will be the first US presidential election with these tools widely available. If they want to write on the topic it'd be handy to see how the tools are used and how they may have influenced the election. Since it hasn't happened yet, they have to wait to fill in some sections with observations of what happens rather than just guesses of what might happen (though I'd be interested to see what they think could happen rather than just a retrospective).
