As promised in today's earlier article, (and as we've done every year since the 2005 founding of Weber County Forum), we're once again quite thrilled to provide a real-time feed from the Ogden City Recorder's Office, tallying in real-time the results of today's Ogden City Municipal Primary Election. And a Weber County Forum Tip O' The Hat to the gremlins in the O'Town IT Department, by the way. They had butt-kickking, leading edge, map oriented real-time vote tallying software back in '07 and '09, and yet this newly-designed software setup totally blows the doors off those earlier versions:
• 2011 Municipal General Election Real-time TalliesAlthough we're told by the Ogden City IT Department that this automated feature will be up and running shortly after the polls close at 8:00 p.m., please be aware that these "live" vote tallies may still be subject to annoying human-caused lags and delays, as the raw data are physically lugged into the counting house from the various city polling places, and entered into the computer that tallies the votes.
While we're waiting for Ogden City's newly re-designed real-time/online scoreboard spring into action, we'll also invite all WCF political wonks who are logged in here to offer up their comments about today's Ogden Municipal Primary Election Event.
And one other thing... if the above link somehow doesn't perform as advertized (or you don't perhaps have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player installed), we're informed that the Weber County Clerk's office will also be publishing real time data, too, in relative Fred Flintstone style; you'll thus have to refresh this page the old fashioned way (manually):
That's it from us for now; and we do believe we have it covered on all bases.
So pull up your La-Z-Boys and fill the bowl with freshly-popped Orville Whatchamacallit's, folks.
Exciting, ainnit?
