@chris no, I think the rural vote level was the same, the urban didn't show - but there are mail in's - it's BC all over again

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@MatWright I don't think it's going to be like BC. It looks like they are about to call it for SK

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@LALegault @lowies @ianhecht I don't think it's going to be that close in the end. I expect it to be called tonight by CBC

[matwright@mastodon.social]

@chris damn, I had hopes

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@MatWright still a huge improvement for the NDP and a big slap to the SK Party

[lalegault@newsie.social]

@chris @lowies @ianhecht

Based on what?

Returns are low still

[matwright@mastodon.social]

@chris true, but the PP folks will take that as a big win - next week US election, then Nova Scotia - the theatre continues

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@LALegault @lowies @ianhecht CBC is already projecting Sask Party elected in 30 and they pointed to a Moose Jaw riding as being 31. So that's enough to call it. It might still be narrower in seat count, but who leads the government is lessening in question

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@MatWright It's bonkers!

[lalegault@newsie.social]

@chris @lowies @ianhecht

Where are you getting that information from?

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@LALegault @lowies @ianhecht Watching the CBC broadcast. Eric Grenier was talking about the 31st riding that they're watching.

[lalegault@newsie.social]

@chris @lowies @ianhecht

There is no projected winner yet.

Look how many votes have come into some ridings

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@LALegault @lowies @ianhecht 30 projected elected in the ridings, no winner yet, but they're watching for a potential #31 in Moose Jaw. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

@chris @LALegault @lowies @ianhecht Ah well. A wave of change in Saskatchewan didn’t seem too likely. Still, the dream was nice.

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

The CBC reporting that the SK Party is elected in 30 seats. Only 31 needed for a majority. I think we'll be getting a call soon for an SK Party win, but it is still a much closer legislature than before.

Seats Leading (Popular Vote)
SKP: 34 (53.2%)
NDP: 27 (39.1%)
Seats Outstanding: 0
Needed for Majority: 31

@cjgyt @LALegault @lowies @ianhecht

I am still optimistic that a big robust NDP opposition could be a sign of things to come.

[lalegault@newsie.social]

@cjgyt @chris @lowies @ianhecht

How many people were expected to turnout?

[sleepy62@social.vivaldi.net]

@chris

Realistically was hoping for an NDP sweep of Regina and Saskatoon. Almost got it. Just waiting for Saskatoon Willowgrove to fall in line!
