Earlier Mark Siegel wrote on how the Democratic party presidential nomination process is broken. I was reminded of that post when reading this:

On Tuesday, the state of California released the official totals from its Feb. 5 primary, which was won quite handily by Sen. Hillary Clinton. David Draten, a blogger at Calistics, does a district by district breakdown of the vote using the final tallies and the delegate selection rules from the California Democratic Party. He finds that the final delegate total was 203 for Clinton to 167 for Obama.

But the original election night numbers were 207 for Senator Clinton and 163 for Senator Obama - which is still the reading in delegate counts at most media sites. (Drayton points out, correctly, that many media sites are still using the wrong vote totals to calculate the delegates - he used the official results from the state of California.)

We live in curious times, don't we? Modern technology enables you to notify someone in a remote, third-world village how you voted seconds after you leave the booth. Yet it takes state abacus operators over a month to figure out how many delegates each candidates won. What an odd system.

UPDATE: "Chaos" determining caucus results in Texas.
