Leger polling has way too many Mount Royal University teachers in its management, among other flaws. A mistaken poll that gave false hope, at best. A dishonest one at worst.
Again, why are people voting for Higgins? Good lord.

When I went by my polling station at 7:30 in ward 13 it was still lined up out the door with lots of people still arrving. The real polls probably didn't close until 8:30 as if you are in line by 8:00 you get to vote.

Therefore assuming that hospitals would have had small numbers of voters therefore quick to count and close on time they should be the first ones reporting.

I blame all the Neshi support on here

If you guys had gone with someone you hated slightly less, we wouldnt be in this mess.

This Higgins trend frightens me a little. I'd strongly prefer McIver over her, if Nenshi does not get in.

Higgins almost has 400. 100 above McIver, 300 above Nenshi.

Quite the early lead she got. Hopefully that's all it is in the end.

Again kiddies...these early numbers arent likely to mirror the final results at all. they could, but its unlikely.

The numbers reporting are so low these numbers are not the least bit reliable, but this is actually kind of sickening.

Its quick to presume but 10% of the polling stations have already reported. Nenshi isn't looking like he has a hope.

Educated guess. They can start counting the advanced polls right at eight o'clock. Today's votes have to be dragged to the back room and verified etc, then counted. I doubt the could have results from today's polls this quick.
