It varies widely from state to state, but in the case of MD, MD has a crappy website that is updated slowly and the news organizations websites were literally hours ahead of it all night.
Also, even assuming the MD state website was the most updated one, from the results currently posted, to someone that actually knows anything about MD looking at, it's clear Steele lost, bigtime. Why?
No results posted from Montgomery and Prince George's Counties. As I've said again and again, MD is very weird in that it has a bunch of very rural counties with low populations that are very Republican and then a couple of counties and a big city that have huge populations and are very Democratic.
Then please tell me where the media is getting their numbers. I just don't understand this. If MD's website is crappy, fine, but are you saying the precincts are reporting to the media at the same time as they report to the secty of state, and the secty of state isn't updating anytime remotely close to the arrival of the numbers from the precincts? If so, that's the fault of the secty of state, not a crappy website.
