So how is the state able to report Democratic results Twice as fast as Republican votes?

30% reporting for Democratic votes, 12% for Republican race.

5. Strange Election

I've been watching the totals on the NYT website and the numbers in the 5 boroughs are coming in extremely fast. The other areas reporting like we normally see with the elections. It's really weird.

6. New York city reports faster

and NYC is so Democratic that it has only about 13% of the GOP vote in New York State. Conversely the city has a very high proportion (about 60%) of the Democratic vote in New York State.

7. That doesn't make sense. A precinct is a precinct.

The state counts both at the same time.

9. No the state doesn't count

counties do. Some counties count fast and others not so much. Urban centers often count fast while rural counties count slower. One reason is that rural counties are often larger in area and count in one place.

10. They send the numbers for both parties to the state

In this case electronically. And you are wrong. Larger population centers typically take longer to count.

12. the numbers are sent to the state but they come from counties

clearly the numbers in this case are coming in from NYC.

8. MSNBC called it for Trump when the polls closed. nt

11. I'm not talking about how they called it.
