Cnn *and* Foxnews sites have problems with math (politics/election) |
Their electoral totals didn't match each other, so I decided to look
through all the breakdowns to see where they differed.
They didn't differ.
So I downloaded CNN's table of electoral votes. And those columns'
totals don't match CNN's own totals. Nor Foxnews' totals.

Aren't those based on which states any particular network calls?

And I finally found the difference between CNN and FNC. Ohio. FNC
promised they weren't going to be incautious this time.....
I'm very annoyed at them.

It's an important election - they want to be extra careful.

i believe CBS and CNN both called it 249 to 242 a few min ago. fox
appears to have 20 more for Bush. i believe they are calling Ohio for
Bush. that's the discrepancy. there are 175k provisional ballots and
Kerry would need 75% or more.
i have a whole window dedicated to cnn.com.
