Counting Votes

Yesterday was Election Results day. Field day for news channels. Back in the days when ballot papers were used, counting started in the morning and the first results did not arrive until late in the evening. Those were the days when the TV crews had the space to relax and streched themselves at times up to 48+ hours non-stop.

But in the era of EVMs the results come out so fast, news channel execs must be saying "In the good ol days, we spent so many sleepless nights. That was the real thing. "

So much of LPY footage, so little time.
