Do Australian districts have precincts like they do in the US or Canada? Or are they like the UK?

Yes, but they call them booth results.

Ok, so we'll get results fairly soon then. I know you know this, but for others, we call them "polls" in Canada.

There's no ticker because there are no results yet.

Yes there are. In Canada, if a poll comes in with 1 vote in it, it shows up in the ticker!

Remember we have hand counting... so we go by swings and booth analysis to give a prediction of what "may happen based on present information".

So? We have hand counting in Canada as well, yet the networks never make "predictions", only calls.

ABC has called the election, more or less.

Not as dramatic as we do it in North America.

Ha, the UK would fit into Kalgoorlie (80,773 voters) 9.38 times Wink. Canny bit of red on the map were it Labor

Dave

Hell, all of Nunavut fits into Kalgoorlie!
