I am writing from Texas. A nearby newspaper, owned by a friend, who's also a journalism/mass communications prof.
This last Tuesday was Texas primary election day. Tuesday is his press day, and mine as well.
Our press normally likes our newspapers at 5 p.m. or so.
The only statewide race in real doubt was the Democratic Senate primary. I think we were pretty sure the Republican Senate primary was going to a runoff, AG, Comptroller and RRC were going to runoffs, Gov and Lite Gov were blowouts, and that Dems would likely have a runoff for AG as well.
There was one closely contested county commissioner race in his county. A district judge and the county clerk were also contested, but not closely.
And, you do have a website.
Plus, we all know that in a county of any size, county elections officials will post the results quickly on the county's website.
I would have printed at normal time.
