Anybody see that glitch at 11:53?

I was watching the polling result site for the Nevada caucus and saw a couple of "glitches".

The first one was about a half hour ago which showed Clinton with 100% in Washoe County, then it blinked away.

The second one was about 11:53 which showed total results 40% C. 40% O. and 20% E., then it disappeared.

Kind of weird stuff there.

Here is the website I've been watching: http://www.nvdems08.com/

1. Probably just getting kinks out before publishing the results. Or they're testing it one last time.

9. They do this all the time.

In 2006 I worked with the Salt Lake County Clerk during the election and they were running tests online up until 10 minutes before polls closed, just to make sure everything was ok.

I wouldn't read too much into this.

12. They would have to use numbers to test.

As well as simulate an end result. So, yes.
