on the CBC map most of those ATL ridings are showing up or down by 9-30 votes so I dont see why anyone is panicking about anything other than to kill time.

also remember rural ridings always report first which usually gives a slight lean to the cons early on, but it still looks like the libs have lost a lot of votes in the maritimes

On the site I'm looking at, its 18 Lib, 8 CON, 1 NDP. So far that doesn't seem too bad? From the "Cons must lose at all costs" position.

How about from a, those 9 non Liberal seats means they can only lose a net 8 seats for the rest of the country. And they're going to lose a shittonne in Quebec, position?

Voted in Ottawa centre for NDP. It was around 5, so there were significant lines, more than I've seen in the last few elections at least.

I'm still sad that the Liberals took this riding from Paul Dewar, who then went on to die of brain cancer :smith:

Since the incumbent is one of the less objectionable liberal cabinet members, I'm not too hopeful, but fingers crossed for a return to the historically normal Orange hue.

I think it's bad from the "Maritimes are solid red" assumption the pundits were working from.

Okay so wait a sec, my map doesn't seem to be like declared winners. It changed to 24 lib, 5 con, 1 NDP.

Is there someone here who can give us a good play by play as to whats going on?

the map is just showing who's leading and a lot of the leads are really small because they're tight races, so they're switching back and forth a lot, and are more likely to switch cpc->lib because the cpc tend to do better in early results from rural districts

The thing you're looking at is the play by play. The polls are still reporting in, these are projections pased on the polls that have reported in. This is the maximum level of knowing what's going on possible just now.

The close risings will keep flipping as more and more polls come in if the results are really close, or if they just report early results from smaller polls

Oh yes, these are still early returns, but last time this was all red wedding by this time. Liberals have definitely taken a hit in a region they didn't want to fall back in.

Just voted NDP, and somehow managed the feat of getting my staunchly Liberal "Did you know when the NDP took office in Ontario, they bankrupted the whole province" mother to also go orange.

Just had a McKenna canvasser come up to my door and ask if I voted for her.

I said no, he asked why, I said NDP, he said I was the third one on my floor to say that.

Soooo. That�s a weird interaction but go my floor.

Pleads: Jun 9, 2005; pew pew pew

My new riding apparently went like 66% for Jason Kenney last federal election and then 77% his Con replacement in the byelection after he slithered off to provincial politics.

But since I'm the only person I know who has voted in the area right now, exit polls are reporting a 100% NDP win in Calgary-Midnapore.

He did. Then they looked at the numbers some more and discovered it would benefit the left, who the liberals despise more than anyone, and decided that it was "unworkable"

So we are still stuck with this lovely system, but at least there is vote splitting on the right this go-around, so everyone loses! :haw:
