I didn't listen to NWPR election night, but I turned it on first thing
Wednesday morning. After listening to a couple of local news cycles and
only hearing about congressional races--no local results--I called the
station. I was told they didn't know who had won county commissioner,
sheriff, etc. because it hadn't come over the AP wire. KRPL wasn't any
better--no local results were reported Wednesday a.m. until 7 a.m. (I don't
get a newspaper until I get to town in the morning.)
