Santorum is eating up romney's support something fierce! I have a feeling if it was paul vs romney only... it'd be nearly 70% romney......

they were having issue with counties numbers updating without precints reporting.. they fixed it so the percent finaly caught up
Very strange.
uhhh, do you know how that sounds? how can numbers update without precincts reporting? What is that a software glitch on google's end? And is this your guess, or was it reported somewhere from an authoritative source?
And just as meaningful:

<- programmer
The precint reported numbers for each county were not updating.. the function they used to determine total percentage reporting uses those numbers. The total popular vote count and percentage of each canidate is based off of just popular vote. So when they were not updating the precint the percentage was also not doing it.
Its a pretty obviouse error.

do you have any evidence that was happening? Just curious, did you see the precinct counts change? The function to calc % is pretty simple. Divide the number reported by the total number. Unless they had the wrong total of precincts, why else would the percent change while no new votes come in?
Is this a problem with every election google posts? Also why did CNN have the exact same problem?
