on edit: Well, the media would be very hard pressed to ignore the election, but they most certainly SHOULD and indeed must (ethically) say that they were "unable to independently confirm the numbers reported by the registrar of voters, due to secrecy in the counts.

Then we'd have a media that was closer to fulfilling its proper role as the only constitutionally recognized private business.
