ISLE OF WIGHT COUNTY VIRGINIA (4000 VOTE DIFFERENCE/TYPO BETWEEN OFFICIAL VA REPORTS AND CNN)

official VA reports ^ | November 7, 2006 | ChicagoHebrew

[ChicagoHebrew]

Official VA reports from Isle of Wright County:

Allen 6,984 Webb 5,050 92% of precincts http://sbe.virginiainteractive.org/nov2006/l_02.htm

CNN Numbers: Allen 6,984 Webb 9050 92% of precincts http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2006//pages/results/states/VA/S/01/county.002.html

One of these numbers is wrong. And its a typo

[ChicagoHebrew]

Someone has been VERY VERY careless.

[pissant]

Its CNN, of course.

[UncleSamUSA]

I have been noticing for 30-45 minutes or so that the CNN and network feeds have Webb ahead by 2500 but the Commonwealth of Virginia own website has ALLEN ahead by about the same margin.

Right now I dont know what to believe, except that the way our luck is going the G-D CNN site is probably right.

[Unam Sanctam]

The Virginia website doesn't show Webb ahead yet:

It must be CNN's error.

Virginia's website just put Webb on top

[ChicagoHebrew]

See this post. I went on the CNN county by county results and the VA county by county results. They are identical except for a 4000 vote difference in Isle of Man County with the identical % of precincts counted.

Either the official VA site has a typo or CNN has a typo. This is the reason for the difference.

Personally, I trust the official VA site.

Get the word out!

the state website shows 52% of registered voters voting with Allen over Webb 6984 to 5050. If CNN is correct, then they had unbelievable turnout (like 70%).

[SirJohnBarleycorn]

If you look at the Isle of Wight numbers for the OTHER ballot questions, like the marriage amendment for example, it seems the CNN number is the one that is the typo - there are only 12-13,000 votes total in the county, not the higher number in the erroneous CNN count.

it does now

[ncfool]

CNN is not Kosher..........

[SirJohnBarleycorn]

Even when the CNN mistake on the 4,000 votes is corrected, Michael Barone just noted that the remaining 20 precincts not yet counted in the official state results are in mostly black districts, and so that 2,000 vote lead may close when the final precincts are included, even in the 100% official Virginia results.

[ChicagoHebrew]

CNN just reported on air that Isle of Wright is "56%" for Webb. They haven't realized the error yet.

Time for a freeping.

CNN is not only not kosher, its a product touched by many unclean left hands (post wiping)
