Yesterday, for the second time this year, the Worcester Telegram & Gazette printed the wrong election results. They made a similar mistake after the September "preliminary elections."
Some supporters of challenger Grace Ross were upset, because both times the T&G listed Ross as doing poorly, when in fact both times she did pretty well.
In the preliminary, the paper listed her as finishing out of the top 12, when in fact she was #6, beating all the challengers and 2 incumbents. In the general election, the paper listed her as coming in #12 of 12, when in fact she was #8, beating three challengers and an incumbent.
In this latest error, it seems the T&G swapped the numbers for candidates Ross, Irish, and Coleman, both on the front of the "Local" section and in the large grid of election results inside.
The T&G chart contains a second error: Dennis Irish should be listed as an incumbent, not a challenger.
T&G On-Line still wrong
As of Friday, Nov. 9th the T&G has not corrected their election results errors which were also published on-line.
They've corrected it elsewhere
The corrections are in a separate article. Which doesn't make any sense, of course...
