If this holds, this is going to be Austria all over again!

Cannot say I am unhappy

Where are y'all getting results from?

ONPE has just issued a report on the first 36%. It is supposed to be a random sample of precincts and is on every Peruvian webpage. Check here

So the regions are fully counted but the total vote isn't? Huh?

It is a random sample accross the country. Each precinct fills out the acta, but recording these things officially and adding them up is a complicated process. Basically, they chose which 36% of the actas to count first. Of course, if a precinct goofs up and is late, nothing can be done about it. So, in theory, the results can still change.

Actually, the oficial results are here

Ok, I understand. Thanks ag!

Ok, I understand. Thanks ag!

Actually, I still do not. The sample is anything but random. Some places, it seems, are far ahead in reporting than others. I do not know if they did some other adjustment in doing the sample.

It's a rather strange system that is ripe for fraud, actually.

¡Viva PPK!

[ag]

51.7% reporting. Results unchanged.

[DavidB.]

79.49% counted; 50.82% PPK, 49.18% Keiko.

[ag]

88% reporting.
PPK 50.52%
KF 49.48%

[LLR]

If this holds, I'll be so relieved.

[Vega]

In theory Keiko could win with the remaining 10% or so, but given the lack of fluidity in the results, that's unlikely.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I'm not wild about Kuczynski (another unreconstructed neoliberal), but I'm even less wild about the return of the Fujimoris

[DL]

Am I right that this was essentially a race between a neo-liberal and a neo-fascist?

[Lexii, harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy]

neoliberal and right wing populist (she's not a neofascist)

[Edu]

So, I posted this in the other forum.

Keiko keeps coming up and narrowing PPK's lead. It's below 1% now.

I think she might win it if this trend continues.

[ag]

She, herself, may be not a fascist, but neither I would call her a liberal, or even a neoliberal. Fujimoris have no respect for the liberal limitations on the authority of the state.

The margin is just over 100,000 votes now, and 9% of actas left (if one includes those with incosistencies). Still too close to call. Praying for PPK.

There are still the overseas votes to count as well.

That includes the overseas precincts. 94.78% of domestic precincts have been counted.
