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.
