You think all the TV and radio stations that report election results are all using the Globe’s numbers?

I don’t think there are minute by minute updates, I think the AP or the Globe just put the updates as they have enough of them.

And yes, the Sec. of the Commonwealth could just release this info as it comes in as other states do.

What a waste of time, since Galvin’s office can easily release all this info centrally, since all the data is uploaded to Galvin’s office in real-time. Do you know where the minute-by-minute updated state-wide totals come from? Not from Galvin? Does Galvin make any election results public?
