Overall coverage looks very well organized so far. Pretty much all sides are covered and I see they're providing updates about other elections as well.
However, I do have one objection. Saw Nina dos Santos at the 'magic wall' in London and I think she might have misunderstood the Greek electoral system. At one point she started adding up the percentage points of potential coalition partners implying that any coalition below 50 percent of the votes can't form a government. In fact, in proportional representation systems it's quite possible that an absolute parliamentary majority is won with less than 50 percent of popular votes. In addition, Greek system has a special feature that gives the party with most votes extra 50 seats, making it all even more complicated when the results are not in and exit polls are pointing to an extremely close race.
But to repeat, the overall coverage looks pretty good so far.

I thought the coverage was pretty good as well. I didn't see it all, but it felt like CNNI really put an effort in. I just wish / hope that they continue with this type of coverage for other elections around the world. I love being able to just turn to CNNI and leave it on the channel without changing it in frustration.

I liked how they managed to keep up to date with other stories around the world too during their rolling coverage. I thought yesterday's coverage was much better than anything we saw for the French election.
Let's put the NEWS back into Cable NEWS Network.
less World Sport, more World Report.
