Toronto results system Media Star of the night

Newspapers and TV gave it their very best shot. The Star had "live" coverage on its website and the National Post had a reporter covering the coverage. There were interviews with voters, with candidates, with their families and with anyone else who would stand still. CP24 had an election party. Wow. The ghost of Moses Znaimer walked Queen St West. But the unquestionable star of Information Flow, if not journalism, was the City of Toronto's election result system. It had the capacity to yield automatically updated results either in gross, or narrowly focused, to homes anywhere in town. So, if you didn't want to watch the party, or do a slow burn through commercials, you could catch the results relevant to your home and move on.
