Washington Caucus Results Thread

[Liberty74]

now for the mysterious lack of incoming results for a few hours as votes are "adjusted"

Holy shit my thinking too...

[Savvy Jack]

[Give me liberty]

google results now at 12% vote totals unchanged hmm.

they were having issue with counties numbers updating without precints reporting.. they fixed it so the percent finaly caught up

 

[FSP-Rebel]

Yo, I've been watching the Huffpo map for the last 20-30 mins or so and the % reporting has went from 6-12% but the number of votes haven't. Maybe it's just a snafu on their part but it sure seems like the vote tallying statewide has been lagging.

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......

And just as meaningful:

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

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?

Very strange.

they were correcting and error with precint reporting numbers. numebrs were right percentage was not. Huffpost jsut did the same thing

 

[alucard13mmfmj]

it does seem suspicious that everytime there is a substantial delay in the counting process... our votes either stay the same our goes down =P. not that im implying anything. lolz

 

[newbitech]

cnn reporting 8% in, same numbers.....

<- 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.

HAHAH right... No way you go from santo to paul. You go from santo to romney.

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?

 

[smithtg]

huffpo showing 12% now in. faux news still holding at 8%. it will stay there all night lol

the states that showed paul winning in the south west had 0 precint reporting but numbers were showing up... only when the precints filled in on the county level did the state percentage change.. then umbers never changed of actual votes so that can be the only way it happened.


Also cnn and msnbc and all them get there numbers from google
