But look at their totals at that site you linked, they are way behind in reporting...

Then I can only conclude that the media is getting their numbers directly from the precincts and running their own tallies, or they are getting numbers from the secty of state and for some unknown reason, the secty of state elections office updates their numbers when the spirit moves them.
