    There are good ones, for sure. I've done election reporting twice in the past 4 years and will again this fall. It is all over the board. Most are fairly competent, but there is more incompetence than you would expect. Enough that I worry people will mistake incompetence for malice.

    Or, as always, use one instance as representative of all.

    When I'm reporting, I'm on a Discord channel hearing about multiple counties and multiple states. When I leave the site I worked and get home, I scrape websites and/or call municipalities who haven't reported yet. It's not one instance.

    If you have an interest in this stuff, these companies are always looking for election night staff. Decision Desk HQ and Edison, specifically. I don’t know if AP does seasonal hiring. It's illuminating to see how the sausage is made.

    Ahhhhhhh...gotcha. My bad if I took that wrong. Yes, there will be all sorts of one-off examples of craziness and it's important to keep them in context.

    Well it takes a special idiot for this Texas prediction to even be feasible, and Trump is that special idiot. For all his bragging about his approval rating within the GOP, it'd be a hilarious rebuke of him by Republicans if (when!) he loses Texas.
