HUH?

Twitter dude is calling in all his scrutineers from the stations. Looks like Nenshi has done it!

Aegis · #**2682** Posted **Oct 19, 2010, 4:27 AM**

Too early in my opninion, based on the numbers I see on TV

devonb · #**2683** Posted **Oct 19, 2010, 4:27 AM**

Aren't we only half way with polls still reporting?

Not even half.

halifaxboyns · #**2685** Posted **Oct 19, 2010, 4:29 AM**

It's too early to call it - I'd say if the lead hits 10,000 or more; then I'd call it. But still too soon.

freeweed · #**2686** Posted **Oct 19, 2010, 4:30 AM**

Nowhere close to half - maybe 80,000 reported, and I bet this election has 250-300,000 total votes.

It's looking damned good for Nenshi though. Damned good. I thought he'd squeak in but this is a bloody landslide, all things considered.

I'm calling it now: within 2 hours of getting to work tomorrow, I will hear "yeah, but 60% of the city DIDN'T vote for him" comments. And I wouldn't be surprised to see one on SSP before the sun comes up.

mersar · #**2687** Posted **Oct 19, 2010, 4:31 AM**

sitting at 83867 mayoral counted so far on the city site

artvandelay · #**2688** Posted **Oct 19, 2010, 4:32 AM**

Looking good for NN, this is the first time I've donated to or participated in a campaign and I'll be so proud of this city if he wins!

-Still hoping Pincott loses ward 11
-Druh is trailing but hopefully she makes a comeback!

Boris2k7 · #**2689** Posted **Oct 19, 2010, 4:33 AM**

@freeweed: I'll let you know, lol. I'm up before the papers are delivered in Calgary.

mersar · #**2690** Posted **Oct 19, 2010, 4:33 AM**

Druh isn't far behind. Mar looks like he'll take it.

and 99,000 counted now for mayor

The central scrutinizer is about a 20-30 minutes ahead of the City's website.

Just hope this is not like the US 2000 election.

Hanging Chads anyone?

Dafunk · #**2694** Posted **Oct 19, 2010, 4:39 AM**

The people have spoken. Im so happy. I wanna go drinking now, but sadly I need to study.

Bigtime · #**2695** Posted **Oct 19, 2010, 4:39 AM**

Nenshi's lead now over 7000 votes.

I want it "over 9000!"

suburb · #**2696** Posted **Oct 19, 2010, 4:40 AM**

Higgins getting ready to concede at 10:45pm.

mersar · #**2697** Posted **Oct 19, 2010, 4:40 AM**

Heres a sign of whats to come. Based on votes counted versus eligible, only 17.5% of the voters have turned out and been counted so far. Predictions were for 45-50% turnout in the end, so we're only 1/3 to 1/2 way through.

crooked rain · #**2698** Posted **Oct 19, 2010, 4:42 AM**

The lesson is bland newscasters make for bland mayoral candidates.

fusili · #**2699** Posted **Oct 19, 2010, 4:43 AM**

Hey thanks everyone re: my shaw TV appearance. It wasn't a purple shirt, just brown and orange, but it looks purple from far away. Hope I did well.

But I can't believe any of you have commented on this yet:

OSCAR FECH HAS 65 VOTES.

That means 65 people in this city believe there is gold hidden under city hall and that someone is trying to assassinate Oscar. That is awesome.

What does the 127/241 stations reporting mean?

[I do realize that not all stations are equal]
