@chris Required to be recounts < 100 I believe

@anthonyfloyd @chris yes 100 is the threshold

@chris If I understand correctly, the table on p. 44 of the Guide to Voting and Counting gives the categories of votes that are only in the final count (which seems to be everything but what is in the preliminary results table on p. 42) https://elections.bc.ca/docs/8008790_Guide-to-Voting-and-Counting.pdf#page=48

95.5% polls reporting and same results 2M votes counted! I think we might have another coalition gov if this holds but with the Greens losing their leader's seat who knows!? #bcpoli #bcelxn2024

Nonsense Factory :mstdnca:

@chris The thing I most detest about elections is that it makes me hate 3/4 of the population - those who didn't vote, and those who voted conservative.

@chris I really wish we had ranked voting. So much vote splitting with the Greens going on

@chris If we can’t get proportional representation then a minority govt w Greens holding the balance is, imho, the best outcome for BC citizens.

@jpthuot03 totally

@dx i really wish the BC Liberals hadn't sabotaged Proportional Representation 20 years ago. The majority wanted and voted for it. We wouldn't be having this discussion.

@hanspetermeyer yes

The votes are coming in but really really slowly. Apparently this is the process of counting the outside ballots by hand. We just got over 96% #bcpoli #bcelxn2024

@chris

Automatic judicial recount is done when the difference is less than 1/500. Anything under 300 will likely request a recount and probably get it even if they have to pay for it.

@chris it’s a shame Sonia Furstenau wasn’t elected. I’m still confused why she chose to run in an NDP stronghold. #bcpoli #bcelection

@chris its gonna be weeks if not longer...

@chris @hanspetermeyer If these results hold this still has to feel like a loss for the NDP. Does Eby stay? The Greens also have a pyric victory. The only leader that can claim a victory and will definitely remain is Rustad

@Aphrodite that's like 4 ridings right now!

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸

@aeisenberg her original riding boundaries changed and she is actually
from the Victoria riding, her family lives there

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸

@monkeyflower maybe! 2017 déja vu!

@chris

It’s intriguing how many of the ridings are waiting for two ballot boxes on top of the out of district votes.

update: 96.13%, NDP 46, Tories 45, Greens 2

@chris @Aphrodite Most ridings seem to have about 25000 votes, so 1/500 = 50. There are none with 100000 votes, so it seems like just the <100 votes will get automatic recounts. The others will need to convince a judge.
