[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@chris I’m following your toots with bated breath!

[irfan@social.lol]

@chris This is for the province right?

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

at 46 to 45 seats for NDP but look at that popular vote. so close #bcpoli #bcelxn2024

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@irfan yes

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@bougiewonderland this is insane!!!

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

flipped to 46 for CPBC. #bcpoli #bcelxn2024

Big news is leader of Greens has lost her race. Talking now. She tried to switch ridings and it disnt work out, it is always hard to do. Sad she lost but it is a win for NDP and might be the difference #bcpoli #bcelxn2024

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

nearly 90% of polls reporting. There are a bunch of VERY tight races within 10s of votes. it is 46-45 for CPBC #bcpoli #bcelxn2024

@chris

Do you happen to know the current threshold for automatic judicial recounts in BC elections? It would seem that there could be several.

Especially keeping in mind that the last reported polls are often close ones where there may be a recount by the deputy returning officer and poll clerk even before the papers are signed and filed.

Flipped back to NDP. NDP has not relinquished the popular vote all night but it is incredibly tight. We are at 54% turnout with 91% of polls reporting. 2nd image is of previous election in 2020. NDP has a higher popular vote today and overall turnout then was 54.5% so we will likely beat that. #bcpoli #bcelxn2024

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@AlsoPaisleyCat i do not know

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

We just went over the turnout from last election 54.5%. We are now at 54.9% So that is positive. But still no call. Too many close races. NDP currently ahead with 46 seats to 45 with 92% polls reporting. #bcpoli #bcelxn2024

@chris I’m going to watch something a little less stressful until it’s all over, like the first 20 minutes of Saving Private Ryan.

[alsopaisleycat@tenforward.social]

@chris I’ll see if I can track that down.

I don’t live in BC now so I assume it’s changed but 10s of votes difference usually gets you an automatic recount in Canada.

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@andymoose good idea!!

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

NDP continues to hold 46-45
