3. I am flipping between the two sites

And I would like to know how the NYT has vote totals before they are up on the Pa Dept. of State website? What is going on here?

5. maybe a source in the SoS office

and the difference in website loading and uploading

4. If the ratios hold, Lamb should end up ahead by around 900 votes.

But that doesn't include absentees.

[UpInArms]

6. usually the absentees are included in the jurisdictions

as they have to be in before the election in most cases (or at least that's true in Missouri)

7. Absentees not reported yet

Some counties will report by midnight. Others will count in the morning.
