Tonight's Election Results

As our gentle readers will recall, we ran a real-time election results update the evening of last month's primary election, with Bill Glasmann graciously calling-in results from the Ogden council chambers as the vote tallies arrived from the counting room and were added to the council chamber tote-board.

I've received several queries today about this, from readers who wanted to know whether I'm planning to do the same tonight.

Although it was fun monitoring last month's vote count, and the experimental "project" generated lots of traffic here, I regret to announce that I'll be down in the council chambers myself tonight instead. I'll be sharing the excitement with all the council candidates, and will try to do some interviews, which I intend to post here later.

As an alternative, I'm posting a link to the Ogden City's own website, which is being set up to provide the very most current information. I'm told it will be updated straight from the counting room, and will thus eliminate the short "lag" that occured last time, when the tally was transmitted from the counting room, to the council chamber, and to me, through Bill Glasmann's cell phone.

Here's a link to the Ogden City Website. I hope it all works out. I just installed it and checked it out. It's refreshing away automatically, and seems to be working just fine, so far. It's VERY COOL, I think. Readers with low resolution video settings might want to view it their browser's full-screen mode. Kudos to the folks in the Ogden City IP department.

I'm also adding this link to the candidate information module in the right sidebar.

I'm further informed that you can monitor the results on Ogden City's Channel 17.

Don't hesitate to chime in here, as the final vote comes in.
