It must be said. the election results reporting systems suck in this country

This is not a rant about Diebold


As you know, about50% of the total delegates in any state is proportioned by congressional district

The problem is the official providers of election results do not record the results by Congressional District. It is done by County.

The problem is that the counties do not record results by congressional district, They provide results by election precinct. They do not care about Congressional boundaries.

The problem is that the Parties are apparently dependent upon the State and County for election results data, but they are not rolling up data from precinct to Congressional district either.

Congressional District rarely follow County boundaries (A single district could be part of a county. A single Country could have parts of multiple districts traversing it. No one seems to have responsibility for capturing votes by congressional distinct.

But wait just a blooming minute. How the hell do we figure out who wins congressional elections.

It turns out that state Secretaries of States do roll up precinct to congressional district for federal elections by law. But they do not do it for primaries unless it is a congressional primary.


So all this begs a question....How in the hell does anybody know how delegates get apportioned if no one has the responsibility to get the right data together????? The apportionment of nominating delegates does not seem to have a responsible party.


This totally explains why different media outlets and the candidates do not have the same numbers.

By this point in the election cycle it doe not matter because in the past someone is cruising to a national victory. NOT THIS YEAR..


IT IS AS IF NO ONE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM


IDIOTS!

This is hardly abritrary. But given the lack of data and given the propensity of party hacks to have predispositions to one candidate or another. This is a recipe for fraud and food fights.
