Hmmm. Wonder what the trouble is?

Don't suppose they're making the election more perfect, do you?

7. That was Warren County

But don't rule out anything in that part of the state.

2. Just a little correction!

You can't rely on the Exit Polls, so they will make sure the numbers are where they should be.

Damn, I can't trust any election now!

3. Online now.

Hackett 19053 52.18%
Schmidt 17457 47.81%

4. They are stupid

Their results are in PDF format, which means a LOT of overhead for the server.

Many news sites are using fancy "interactive" setups which is also resulting in NOBODY being able to get information.

Idiots!

ALSO, they are using ASP, which can cause problems for non-Microsoft browsers.

5. New numbers (bwuh haha) off their site HACKETT=52%

2nd District Vote Tally < Hit refresh >
With 250 precincts of 753 reporting at 9:06 pm :
Paul Hackett (D) 18,476 52%
Jean Schmidt (R) 17,064 48%

6. With all the national attention this race is getting...

...I wouldn't be surprised to see a few of those websites go down once or twice tonight.

Which is not to say that things aren't being "adjusted", but website availability is not the best means by which to measure such events.
