In New England, each town reports its election results separately. There's no central tabulation of the vote like in other states until the official results are released. The AP has to call each town's elections officials to get the numbers, and they probably haven't bothered to do so with half the tiny towns in the state (or they're not answering because there's one person in the office who works part-time).
How efficient and progressive!
Meanwhile in Louisiana and Mississippi, all of the votes have been counted.
We don't need another cinyc. Also, Mississippi and Alabama don't post anything until the official results are reported, either.
Yeah, pointing out that the election reporting systems in the Northeast suck and need to be updated to this century is taboo. Even early 2000s will do - but those states' reporting systems are stuck in the last century.
Louisiana does have the best election results reporting system of any state - and continues to upgrade it year-after-year to keep it ahead of its peers. That's a fact - not an opinion. Delaware's new system is good. Most of the Enright systems states (AZ, KY, FL, etc) aren't bad either, but are complex to navigate and make it a bit more difficult to import results unless you know where to look. California is okay. Pennsylvania and West Virginia aren't great, but aren't terrible. Alaska provides precinct-level results, but in a very Excel-unfriendly format. Ditto Hawaii, at least for intial results.
