NDP up by 1 vote in Victoria!

[MaxQue]

NDP retake lead, by 1 vote.
CC: Tories leads by 277 votes.

[Hatman 🍁]

Perhaps this has been covered somewhere on the preceding 28 pages (which I'm too lazy to inspect), but is there any reason why the NDP seemed not to have contested Calgary Centre or the Liberals Durham?

Candidate strength.

[RogueBeaver]

Yeah, the Grits had that incident mixing veterans' support with campaign fundraising.

[Hatman 🍁]

Twitter is saying that with 80%, there is a 20 vote difference in Calgary.

[doktorb]

Victoria:  NDP ahead of Greens 37.5-36.1,  35/256 reporting

[MaxQue]

V: NDP leads by 137 votes.
CC: Tories leads 292 votes.

[Hatman 🍁]

The parties will have more up to date results than Elections Canada, so this one is going to get exciting.

[RogueBeaver]

Recount?

[Hatman 🍁]

Recount?

Could be the case. Wow. When was the last recount in a by-election?

Candidate strength.

Agreed, especially as a strong green candidate draws on the relatively soft NDP support here in Alberta.

If the Liberals lose CC, then you can point your finger at McGuinty.

[Orion0]

If the Liberals lose CC, then you can point your finger at McGuinty.

And the presumptive prince Trudeau.

It has been almost 2 hour since the polls close.
In Calgary Centre there is average of 100 votes / polling station.
In the last election there was an average of abour 200 votes / polling station
Last time their were a few polls of around 300 votes.

How long does it take to count them?

When I was invovled it takes under 1 hour.

Takes a while to get the info to EC. The parties have more up to date numbers.

[doktorb]

Vic: NDP ahead  2,970  of Greens 2,916
CC: Con ahead  6,514 of Liberal 5,988

[RogueBeaver]

Now Crockatt will have a 400 vote lead. Hatman, your source still saying 20 vote difference with 80%?

[cp]

What twitter accounts are people following that have allegedly more up to date information than the Elections Canada website?

[RogueBeaver]

@carlena for me. Also, Kady O'Malley says she's about ready to call CC for Crockatt because there aren't enough Lib votes remaining.

[MaxQue]

CC: Tories leads by 610 votes
V: NDP leads by 104 votes
