So depressing to look at my ballot in Calgary West.

I was tempted to spoil my ballot by writing in "We deserve a better CPC candidate." Or just "Anders is a moron."

Harper broke an Elections Canada law and openly campaigned on election day. I'm sure nobody here cares.

I think it's fine for him to give an interview on the radio, but asking voters to vote for him sounds like a violation of the Elections Canada laws.

Is it even legal for Rob Anders' campaign team to be auto-dialling me today? I've been getting at least one call per day from the Anders campaign (mostly while I'm trying to eat supper of course), but 3 so far today.

I know we can't legally post election results until all the polls are closed because of some archaic law, but I just received a text from a friend in Halifax and thought you'd all like to know that the Bloc Quebecois were big losers in Atlantic Canada, failing to win even a single seat.

If early results on Twitter are to be believed, the Liberals are getting hammered, but not decimated.

I thought 7uongo was going to win the Vancouver Centre riding until the last two minutes of regulation in game two against Nashville happened.
I heard there would be huge delays at my station, but I was out in under five minutes, including having to register at the polling station. It was the most efficient vote I've been a part of.

That's peculiar. I wonder why the Anders team thought it would even be necessary for that action?
Never received a call here.

Laws are meant to be followed, except when it suits your needs.

I was really surprised to read that on the bus this afternoon. What are the rules?

The results are all over Twitter. I won't repost them here because I don't want Bingo to be fined, but just search for #tweettheresults.
