Nutter orders real-time online election results

Mayor Nutter has interceded, and results in the May 19 primary election will be published online in real time after all, an official said yesterday.

The city's Department of Technology will make sure that happens, and cover the costs necessary to do so, a spokeswoman for Nutter said.

On Wednesday, the Philadelphia Board of Elections said it had no money to offer the same real-time online access that a vendor had provided for the November presidential election results. - Marcia Gelbart
