Which is a better source?

For most of the morning I've been watching the close race for congress in Iowa's first congressional district. The Gazette had more votes in and precincts reporting than the Secretary of State's website... and that's odd because I'd think that the Secretary of State should be the first to have the official results.

The hours passed and the Democrat was lingering to a slim lead but the Gazette and Sec. of State still had 30% of the precincts not reporting.  In other words, it could still go for the Republican once all votes are counted.

While looking up other stuff I saw MSNBC had the race called with 98% of the precincts in.  They even had a great county-by-county breakdown of the race.

I didn't expect a national website to have more information about Iowa than Iowa websites.
