Why invest the time of 4 journos to go get this rather than report something that matters to society?

I get that the horse race shit is just that. But is the AP not going to cover every part of the election?

All the more so bc AP did work they had no need to do, bc they knew numbers would be in tomorrow. Waste of resources
