No, that part I get.
It's the two active threads arguing opposite points I don't get.
Understood -
Late last night - it seemed that Kloppenberg had lost by a few hundred votes, and late night primitives spent the day believing that was the case, until sometime this afternoon when the tallies changed giving Kloppenberg a 200 point advantage. It seems no one told the late night primitives that the situation changed slightly, and they are continuing their threads of dismay, while other slightly more informed primitives are celebrating what is a premature victory announcement.
Since either way, a recount was virtually guaranteed.
