An Observation on Reporting Election Results and the AP
— CAC

Last Tuesday, with the help of a few carefully selected cheeseheads, we reported returns from Wisconsin for the recall primary. The method used wasn't even off the ground, but was successful enough for me to notice several glaring differences between what the #AOSHQDD had and the official Associated Press numbers. None of these were inaccuracies on our end. The differences resulted from a chronic delay in Dane County (Madison), Waukesha County, and others for a substantial part of the evening, and there is no reason to doubt we will see the same thing on the night of the recall.

Many in the past have thought that the lefties in counties like Dane withheld their results deliberately until the Republican areas rolled in; and more recently, that Waukesha officials "caught on" and were reporting theirs last deliberately. The simpler explanation which became glaringly obvious was poor reporting by the AP.

Dane County reported all of its returns quickly and in substantial chunks through the evening: at about 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 95%, and 100% in, roughly. The time delay between the Dane County Clerk uploading the information and the Associated Press listing the numbers ran as much as an hour to an hour-and-a-half apart. There was no holding back of votes, just the reporting by the press. The same went for Waukesha, which updated at a surprisingly fast rate Tuesday. Even when all votes had been counted and uploaded, there was a sizable delay in reporting on the AP's part. In fact there was a delay in reporting nearly 30% of the statewide result.

I had suspected the lethargy back when tracking the Presidential primary. Waukesha was late as always, but finally reported big chunks of its vote around 1am West Coast time. The numbers appeared right here on Ace of Spades hours before the Associated Press bothered to recheck and update. Last Tuesday simply confirmed my earlier hunch.

It is clear the traditional method, I suppose waiting for a phone call or email, is snail-like compared to what we are more than capable of now that we aren't solely reliant on their numbers. Procedural sluggishness rests at the root of this, and in a way that is even worse than the previously assumed "intented" delays.

Intentional "scheming" to hold back reporting at least implies some sort of reasoned method. But having a second-rate hack poll junkie obsessed with numbers pump them faster because you're too lazy to click "refresh" on a screen? That's just sad.

Update- wow, just realized this wasn't sent to drafts after the first...draft.

So again...how the hell am I faster than actual reporters at giving you numbers?

2 When there is a republican AG, the AP should be busted up like all monopolies. There is no reason that almost all of the papers in the USA get source from one single source. Break up AP just like AT&T.

5 Thanks, CAC!

Any thoughts on what other reasons there might be?

Since those are large counties, could they simply be stringing the results out  for some other reason?

"I am not accusing AP reporters of bias or some bizarre information conspiracy, as counties on opposite ends of the spectrum went through the same delays."

 

Still, CAC.....the AP's liberal bias is right up there with MSNBC, so it's difficult to put that aside and forget about it.

You'll be impressed by the bill, I promise you that.

I remember when I gave up on Whole Foods and turned to Trader Joe's. I wandered around just tossing stuff in my shopping cart like there was no tomorrow. Luxury items. Whole cheesecake, brick of gorgonzola, salad greens, soymilk (yes, I'm weird), King Arthur's Flour (they don't have it anymore, damn it), walnuts, eggs, various meats, various frozen foods, this cheesy popcorn I'm addicted to, on and on. The bill came to something absurd like $30. At Whole Paycheck that would have been $80.

Yet even in Republican controlled States, they will not question Obamas validity to be on the ballot due to his being born a Dual citizen... or a simple check on his legal identity, as he DID change names a couple of times... or a simple check on his Social Security Number...

 

Things a Secretary of State 'could' ask... as in most States THEY decide who is qualified to be on the ballot.

I got a pretty good prep school story from age 19. Well not exactly a prep school, more like apartment  in El Cajon with 5 guys and no money. We were starving and got this brilliant idea to steal some pizza. We would call and order a small cheese pizza, since its all we had the money for, and we'd lure him into the apartment under the guise of doing a hit of weed, while two guys would be taking the rest of the pizza out of his car.

 

The only problem was we also had no weed. After locating a stem we broke it into small pieces and wrapped one of the roomates red hairs around it. Told the pizza delivery guy that it was red hair sensi. He takes a hit, says thanks and leaves. Couple minutes later the guys who were supposed to steal the rest of his pizza's come walking in with nothing. They were too scared to go through with it. So we all sat around and ate our miniscule ration of cheese pizza.

Turns out the guy's some functionary at the LA Press Club. Who repeated his bon mot later at us since we ignored it the first time.

I know a lot of small restaurants around here will trade you a meal for help with some odd jobs. Small places which don't want to pay someone, because of the minimum wage, to take care of small things usually will barter. Usually work like helping clean vent hoods, grease traps, sweeping, unloading deliveries, trash removal, weeding, all the little stuff businesses need done and really don't want their regular employees wasting time on when money needs to be made.

Wow.  what a shame.   Can't imagine how much you'd have to drink to drink yourself to death.      

I love a good Scotch or red wine, in moderation, and as a Christian I will not apologize for it.  In moderation, it's a gift from the Almighty.

Fermentation is natural.  Grape: yeast on the outside, sugar on the inside.  Crush. Leave alone.  Wine.

   I'm annoyed at the "Jesus didn't drink" crowd.  Jesus drank.   He was a Rabbi who participated in the Jewish rituals of the time.  He didn't change water into grape juice.  It was wine.

219 I can't tell you how I know this (I used to live in WI: Wisconsin, not West Indies), but many of the people involved in union/Democrat politics are not merely Communists and drug-users (as they certainly are), but they would stop at nothing- NOTHING- in order to usher in the reign of Glorious People's Soviet Republic of Dane County Intellectuals and Milwaukee Welfare Recipients/Katrina Victims. (There may be a few hundred unionists in the far northwest, the old stronghold of David "Our Fault" Obey, in addition, who may also be Finlanders, or Chicago refugees from the Mescaline Wars that were never recorded (because they took place on an imaginary plane inside an unpublished Philip K. Dick novel) who would willingly give up their deer rifles to the state, but certainly no more: and that number would shrink if everyone had the internet.) They would willingly follow the model of Stanley Dunham and bear a red-diaper baby, make him eat dog in service of the Revolution, send him to the Madrassah (because that's where individuals turn into elements of the struggle/jihad for PERFECTION OF HUMAN NATURE THROUGH REGULATION BY GOVERNMENT/Theocracy), pimp him out to the local kommissar (even if it's Honolulu), and leave their mothers to the mercy of the resultant sociopath years later in an unquenchable thirst for power.

And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."

263 Wikipedia says 150,000 all told (in all the inquisitions). Killed? Or were questioned by the Inquisition? The figures I find put the deaths at about 6k total, with something like a 1-4% execution rate for the documented Inquisitors.

264 Thx, Tami. It's definitely worth going down there again with a real camera. I was just there tagging along with the husband for a work thing. Pro tip: Capitol Reef National Park is apparently about 1/3rd as crowded as its more famous "neighboring" parks. Very nice (the little bit we saw). You can camp there (we didn't), but there are also some places to stay motels/inns/lodges in Torrey. We go to Bryce in a couple of weeks.

269 Catholics have disavowed the Inquisitions for a couple hundred years and there is no one alive today guilty of the sins. Pope John Paul II condemned the acts and apologized very publicly. So to say something as stupid as "most Catholics have never even heard of the inquisition" shows what a public education ignoramus you are.

274 @209 My pix don't do it justice, by a long shot, but the thing that is amazing is the scale of the geologic changes happening there and their incredible immediacy. As you're driving through, you see huge slabs of rocks teetering or tumbled down as if they just fell there. And the rock crumbles into the finest sand I've ever seen. It's like baby powder. Wish I knew something about geology, because it's clearly a really cool place geologically speaking. Other interesting thing that doesn't really come across is how green it is there. Husband has spent time in Four Corners and southern Utah (long ago), but Capitol Reef is quite high up so there are a lot of pinion pines and cedars, plus smaller desert plants. The section of park where we were has a permanent river (or creek) running through it, so there are cottonwoods as well.

Yes.  We (Christians) must love our enemies.  His error, however, was to fail to consider that radical Christians do not perform clitorectomies on their daughters.

343 re: up thread micro breweries rarely pasteurize, there really is no need to do it and just adds expense. Diatomaceous earth/plate filtering is usually sufficient for quality improvements - if they centrifuge, even better.

344 And, YO!  This little (okay, 19.7 pounds of adorable) kitteh?  When I get in bed at night, she immediately jumps up on the bed, spoons with me and starts licking me half to death with that damn scratchy tongue.  She's a keeper, okay?

345 We love our pets. but do they have souls?

Posted by: Jimbo at May 12, 2012 09:53 PM (O3R/2)

I remember reading a passage by Thomas Aquinas where he seemed to be arguing that animals did have souls of a sort. 

 

 Mrs Cop likes her kittehs and each one has had it's own distinctive personality.

346 I like cats and dogs.
however since one of my daughters cats have moved in , both my cat  (which had never scratched furniture) and her cat BOTH scratch my furniture.
i've never had a furniture terror, what do i do before they ruin it?
btw none of my dogs have ever clawed my furniture but they have eaten my boots , my Torah, my bedding.. yeah she still lives but.. hmm, growl.

    In our house, dog and cat co-exist--peacefully.  To keep Spastic Lab company we have an orange tabby (absolute Garfield clone) named Studebaker.

  These guys are great buddies, and frequently sleep together.

350 (Peaches) sorry about kitten and job.

352 Thank you, willow, but we'll be fine.  Lotta people out there with way bigger problems.

353 338 The thing with cats is you don't own them, they own you and tolerate your presence in their domain. If you drop dead on the floor, and haven't moved for a while or fed them, then they start eating you. They have no loyalty.

I read somewhere that during the siege of Leningrad the humans ate all the pets.And the rats. And the dead humans.

354 When I lived in Germany, the slang name for cats in my village was "short-eared rabbits" and there were virtually none to be seen. Apparently, the Germans in that town couldn't bring themselves to eat their dogs during the bad part of WWII, but it was open season on cats.

355 @342 It's not what you gross, it's what you net.
My old BSA patrol leader came to visit me in my hand-built, off-grid redoubt 8 miles from the paved road (his youngest brother told him where I was: you FBI alums from even back before the 10mm days condiser that someone had to rule me out as The Unabomber, our mode de vie being so unconventional, sandwiched as it were between  strict Anabaptists and the Sons of the Pioneers, horse-powered, of course, and organic (that other sh*t smelled so bad you could tell right away it was a bad idea), and committed to increase (not "forward" or "progress" or that other phoney (God help us if Lil Barry should win) RINO shite), but Gen 1,28 . http://tinyurl.com/2c7a7lq. He and his beautiful wife were living in L.A. (this was the mid-80's) and he told me, "It's a nice lifestyle, but you need about $90k p.a. to cut it." Guess where they moved.

You are boarish and a bore.  I initially thought your first post was as a sock since it was so ridiculous.  However, you are a troll.  Once again, a hearty FUCK YOU.

357 Unfortunately, the place looks really nice and I was unaware of the ghetto-hell plumbing

You can get a black toxic mold test kit at most HVAC supply stores, they're not expensive.  If you got toxic mold that ailing the kitty, you just hit the jackpot - the landlord will have to fix it and put you in a motel while the remediation work is going on.

I was JoanofArc in a former life.

Frogs like me. They come to my door from the bog and hang around because of my blessed aura(like JC) or they want to eat me or fry me on a spit. Don't trust frogs.

359 I've always had both cats and dogs at the same time. I've never understood people who hate one or the other.

Our smallest kitten will hiss at the biggest dog, and thenceforth absolutely rule the roost. DufusDog treats it as a joke, but knows that I'd terminate his butt with extreme prejudice if he ever went mean on me or any member of family including a kitten.

Good luck with the job hunt, Peaches.

360 but it was open season on cats.

Cats: "the other white meat". 
Cat: "its what's for dinner"

361 Shirley Kitteh just woke up from her 9pm nap and climbed on my chest for snuggle.  Holly is outside as usual keeping MD rodent free.

362 Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.

363 most Catholics have never evenheard of the inquisition

Yes, because we all know the "comfy chair joke" goes right over everyone's head.

I find it interesting that the left can obsess over something almost a millennium in the past, but aren't troubled by socialism's murder of hundreds of millions in the last century.

In fact, socialism has killed more people then religion, even though socialism, as a ruling ideology, has only been around for less then a hundred years, and religion has existed at least as long as civilization has.
