Times-Tribune to have reporters working election night

That's the gist of a "story" in today's paper. If you read to the fifth graf, you get the news: Because the county isn't counting write-in votes -- expected to play a pivotal role -- until the end of the week, the newspaper will have extra people working to count them tonight. Good for them.

The county won't be counting the write-ins until Friday. Considering the complicated history of the commissioner's race, perhaps someone should have asked why the Board of Elections can't do its job on Tuesday night? Would have beefed up the TT's bland election coverage.

They never count write in votes until the official recount.

Always nice to hear from TT management... and its rumpswabs.

Amazing that this bland and positive intro gets such an angry, defensive, over-the-top response.

To work in the Times Tribune newsroom is to be constantly defensive, always with a chip on your shoulder and continuously protesting that you don't suck as bad as people think, really.
