@momentofmagnus @DeanBaker13 Newspapers have several editions. Basically, 1st editions are for mailing/shipping far out. I'm guessing first print run was ~9:30pm (for shipping out of state), when outcome wasn't totally clear. So they had to equivocate

@bestseller1980 you'll check your reviews religiously for the first 2-3 months, then honestly you'll get tired of doing that. I haven't checked my reviews in forever. Zero interest in doing so
