Precinct Reports
Roch Smith asks where we can get precinct reports for Tuesday's primary vote.
We've got them here at Inside Scoop, fresh this morning from the Board of Elections. You can read the report here in Excel spreadsheet format.
A note: Last night, Elections Director George Gilbert passed out printed copies of the spreadsheet that included results for all the precincts. This morning, when I asked for the electronic version, I was told that precincts with fewer than 10 votes had their results consolidated into a single entry. The reasoning is that it would be possible, for instance, to find out who was the lone person that voted in the North Deep River precinct and know who that person voted for.
But with the paper copy in hand, I was able to reconstruct the consolodated precincts. I understand the thinking behind consolidating results, but we generally opt for full disclosure when possible.
