I don’t get how the official FL state site has Mitt up by 4k but the MSM has him down. How can the MSM have a better count than the officials actually doing the counting?

It looked to me like fox was 10,000 or so short on mitt....seems the state site would be more right, don’t know though.

Sometimes the precinct count is known at the precinct immediately. A news stringer gets it and calls it in. The election offials have to wrap it up neatly, send or drive or call it to the country, which loads it into its total and then uploads to the state. That’s why usually the media will be ahead of the official site. At the end of the night, it works the otehr weay — the news media can’t sweep up the final dregs as well as the official site.

If there was ever proof of the corruption of the MSM, this is it.
