As promised, and in conformity with our four-year Weber County Forum tradition, we bring you links to what we believe to be to the most reliable web-based election real-time vote tallies for the 2008 Utah General Election races, now that we're past the 8:00 p.m. Utah polling-place closings:
Utah General Election Preliminary Results. The data on this site comes from the Lieutenant Governor's office. This site performed admirably last year, and the format is almost identical to last year's setup, according to Mark Thomas, the Lt. Gov's webmaster. Just go to the main menu, and click categories and offices from there.
For the convenience of our gentle readers, we've also culled a couple of pages from the above site, with shortcuts to results of a couple of key races which we believe our WCF readers will be following extra closely tonight:
Utah House of Representatives, District 9
Utah House of Representatives, District 10
Don't let the cat get your tongues, gentle readers, as tonight's election results
