Edit: after looking at your link mine were definitely different. I voted at the Seton YMCA.

Interesting were you in your riding or outside. I voted outside my riding.

Why? Any chance of an NDP upset would be pretty apparent on early ballots. Since it isn't there, it's an easy call.

Nothing surprising so far. Yawn.

Yeah but truthfully, most of us called that the day the writ was dropped.

Looks like the end of the socialists. Hopefully the Alberta Party can turn them back into the fringe party they deserve to be in the next election.

Query: who does everyone think has the best coverage?

I'm watching CBC, but they're talking about UCP making big gains in ridings where they've literally got 12 votes in. Which is pretty ridiculous.

Shannon Phillips in a battle for her political life...would make my day if she was shot into political oblivion.

We had socialists in power? I missed when they were elected. I’m also confused that about a 10% difference in the size of government is the differences between socialism and the UCP.

Corner ads on Global are ridiculous

[puckedoff]

Anyone watching the CBC feed? What do the numbers mean when they show individual candidates?

I saw one that was UCP 9, NDP 3 AP 3 (for individual candidates in the riding). Does that mean they have only counted 15 votes?!

On the other hand if you have about 10,000 votes counted and they are relatively evenly distributed and they roughly match polling you can draw a lot of conclusions.

Global has 44 for UCP.

Shannon Phillips is tied. Eggen losing.

[Ducay]

Awwww yisssss.

Oil and gas has a chance! UCP majority.

For hilarity being a hockey forum

Yes...small polls are by definition the first ones that get reported...lots of these are in seniors homes.
