Me too. UniversalHub.com would love to see this kind of blunder from the Globe.

Others seem to have noticed as well (warning, freepland)... For example:

Unfortunately none of the Freepers grabbed a screenshot either.

Somerville is red. I wonder if they just plugged in random data. I don't think so, because there seems to be some structure in the data.

The Phoenix (http://thephoenix.com/BLOGS/talkingpolitics/archive/2010/01/19/boston-globe-calls-election-for-martha-coakley.aspx) has screenshots, and a statement from the Globe:

AP was testing an election data feed to its Massachusetts clients. During corresponding tests at our end, the feed of AP's hypothetical test data was inadvertently posted for a few minutes on a single subsection page within ur site. As soon as the error was discovered, it was removed. We regret the mishap.
