Second update CTE messes up endorsement count

The endorsement totals do not always reflect the number of nations actually listed below. Occasionally there are "empty slots" in the list recognizable by the commas: "Endorser1, , Endorser2, , , Endorser3". The problem here is that unlike the "UN update pending" notice, this is practically invisible when a nation has more than a few endorsements, so without counting off the endorsements one by one (or using a scanning utility) there's no way to tell if the number displayed is accurate until the main update.

This might be explained by the second update in the day, when nations CTE or get their second issue. Apparently during this update (unlike the main update) UN endorsements are not retallied.

Not knowing how this stuff is stored, I'm not sure if you can fix this without running the full update twice a day. Or you might already know this. :)
