As a follow up to this post by (Engine Engine) #9 stating that WATE incorrectly announced Steve Hall had withdrawn from the city council race, Mr. Hall was on the radio this morning. He won by 88 votes. He was absolutely furious over the whole issue and lambasted WATE as totally irresponsible. He said he asked who leaked the misinformation and WATE merely told him that it was a reliable source.

Update: The only coverage I have found so far:

“I just can’t believe that a major media outlet in this town would go on the air with that type of wrong information without at least calling to verify on election day,” candidate Steve Hall said

Nothing yet on the WATE website. My understanding is they did an on-air correction.
