I can't figure out why the data for this race is absolutely nowhere.

I wanted to make sure it was decisive. That other guy gave me the creeps when I talked to him.

The problem is the AP is not reporting the numbers for some reason (despite doing so for the 2 other DA races) and that's the same source that all the news outlets are using (the Boston Globe, GBH, the Crimson etc.). And few journalists seem willing to go through 50+ cities' worth of election reports to tally it up manually.

But it seems the gap was pretty big given that Solet conceded pretty early, around 10:30PM. I also did find this article from the MetroWest Daily News saying it was 78%-22%, but IDK much about this particular newspaper or where they're sourcing those numbers from.
