Wait so are television stations going to have like Paul +5 or something like that rather than reporting the total votes and percentages in? Because that sounds like a very stupid way of reporting results, especially if the wave is big enough that candidates thought save by their expected vote are thrown out.

?

The only difference is that the "% of vote in" statistic will be based on "total votes in"/"expected votes to be cast" as opposed to "precincts reporting"/"precincts in total".

If they even do that.  I still can't find the AP's Senate by-county charts anywhere, but this AP map at myfoxboston.com suggests they might still be reporting Senate races by percentage of precincts reporting, too - unless they change that in the next few days.

FWIW, I think I finally found the AP by County pages, and they appear to still report county-level results by precincts reporting. 

I expect counties to continue to report the number of precincts reporting. I suspect most would be unwilling to speculate on the fraction of votes cast.
