Something is FUCKING WRONG .. CNN VS. STATE Reporting .. One has it wrong

[DerekJ]

At 54% CNN was reporting H: 54 O: 46

But the state website at: http://www.electionreturns.state.pa.us/ is reporting it at: 52.7 (53) H 47.3 (47%) Obama

Which fucking site should I believe now?!!

[DerekJ]

1. kick ..I need an answer

[frogcycle]

8. no you don't

just turn the computer off, turn the tv off, and tune in in the morning. They will all have the same numbers then

[Jamastiene]

2. Look at the number of votes for each candidate.

They are obviously not in sync in the updates.

[DerekJ]

9. I know .. I 'm saying when CNN was at 54% same percentage in, it is still different.

[Jamastiene]

12. It goes by to the total number of individual votes counted

That percentage will stay at 54% until the numbers go up or down enough to make it go up or down. They are just not in sync, that's all.

[johnnydrama]

3. maybe

it's a different 54%?

[Thepricebreaker]

So? perhaps they need to snyc? Jeeze...

[DerekJ]

10. It's not about Sync, when both were at the same % in, they had different numbers for O and H

[Jamastiene]

17. No, check the votes columns...

Also, CNN is rounding their percentages off. Look at the total number of votes for each candidate. You won't get any more accurate than that. One updates more often than the other as well.

[politicallore]

4. I use politico... Which has been right... Every election count so far

[spooky3]

36. politico and cnn have very similar counts right now

the state's count is far behind.

[HockeyMom]

5. The state

They have no axe to grind.

[yourout]

6. CNN has the Diebold count.......the State has the real count.

[grantcart]

7. CNN maybe sourcing directly from counties

[nebula]

11. CNN is the Clinton News Network

Turn that crap off.

[onehandle]

13. The sky is falling!

Chill out. The results won't be final tonight.

Seriously.

[DJ13]

14. OBAMA, BARACK (DEM) 46.3%

CLINTON, HILLARY (DEM) 53.7%

*** 5,013 out of 9,263 Districts (54.12%) Reporting Statewide ***

[DerekJ]

23. 60% reporting O: 47% H 53%.

CNN at 60% had them 54 46 !!!

[Erin Elizabeth]

15. I'm not planning on really finding out until tomorrow.

[stratomagi]

16. Why does the state site show Hillary on the ballot 3 times

with 3 different results?

Candidate Votes Percent
CLINTON, HILLARY (DEM)
2,501 52.7%
CLINTON, HILLARY (DEM)
440,552 52.7%
CLINTON, HILLARY (DEM)
207,016 52.7%
OBAMA, BARACK (DEM)

[merh]

19. it is some sort of glitch

now it is showing both on the screen 3 times.

[Jamastiene]

20. Now she is only on there two times and Obama is on there 3 times.

Perhaps they have a malfunction with their software. That is awfully screwy. Maybe the OP has a point. :shrug:

[SoonerPride]

21. It's called Diebold.

You think I'm kidding.

[FlyingSquirrel]

18. Try this site

http://demconwatch.blogspot.com/

Currently projecting Clinton with a net gain of 7-9 delegates.

[rainbow4321]

22. CNN has ratings to worry about and the state doesn't? n/t

[Spazito]

24. I can't get the State official site now....

Says it is down for maintenance, is anyone else having that problem?

Edited to add: I can now get the site but no numbers.

[merh]

25. Something is very screwy

now all I get is the map and it shows 71% reporting

[Spazito]

26. Yes, that is what I am seeing as well

At one point, I couldn't even get that, only an "under maintenance" message, very strange.

Edited to add: now I can get the numbers:

Clinton 54.3
Obama 45.7

[Silver Gaia]

27. I've been seeing the same thing.

This crap is worrisome.

[City Lights]

28. Same here...site down for maintenance. I noticed something odd prior

to it going down for maintenance. They showed multiple entries for Clinton, all with different totals and percentages. One entry showed the vote total and the % at 53.2, another showed the vote total and the % at 53.4, and another showed the vote total and the % at 53.5. What's up with that?

[Silver Gaia]

29. Yep, I saw all of that, too.

Odd that I never saw that happen with the Republican tallies. Did anyone else see it happen with the Republicans?

[Spazito]

33. Actually, I did, once, see Huckabee listed three times for a bit

but have seen the multiples much more often with the Democratic numbers. I assume it was some kind of glitch but it certainly struck me as a bit strange.

[TorchTheWitch]

30. I was seeing multiple Obama entries with weird numbers

At the same time, Clinton's percentage points went from +5 to +8. I've done a screen capture every time and saving them in case it means something. Very odd.

[goclark]

31. kick for answers

[City Lights]

32. Glad you got screen captures.

I still can't access the site.

[TorchTheWitch]

37. Here's the screen captures...

I cut out the relevant info so I wouldn't be posting giant images in here, but I still have the original screen captures saved separately.

This is the first one. Check out the precinct numbers on this one and the second one... they're the same but Clinton's percentage went up...



This second one I took right after I pasted the first one into my graphics program. I went right back to the site, refreshed, and it changed again, so I did this screen capture only a few seconds after the first one...



Same thing again with this third one in that I went right back to the site, refreshed, and it had changed again so I did this screen capture... only a few seconds between this one and the last one...





I really don't know what to make of this. But it is weird.

[shadowknows69]

34. CNN has it at a 10% win for Clinton for some time now.

[Spazito]

35. The latest numbers on the State site are

Clinton 54.1
Obama 45.9

a 9.2% difference, CNN is very definitely rounding up for Clinton and rounding down for Obama

[Ichingcarpenter]

38. In the honest truth.. she didn't get her 10%
