3 votes counted, wahoo! What an odd way to make results public.

they explained it on one of the streams, basically with advanced voting anybody could vote anywhere, so if someone for example ilives in calgary and they happened to be in edmonton and voted there, when the edmonton poll reports, it'll put that vote to the voters home riding so it may be 1's and 2's

It's called Tween Wave music and it's complex and awesome and it speaks to my youthful rebellious spirit, Sharon!

Only 100 votes counted so irrelevant but fuck it would be hilarious if Fort Mac went orange

I find with most elections, I vote out of spite and against someone vs. for someone.

Just watching some of the CBC coverage....holy crap. Interview NDP candidate after NDP candidate. Then go to Nenshi and Duane Braid. Then back to covering NDP again. They are doing everything they can do to avoid calling anything positive for the UCP. It's practically NDP news 24/7

[dimi]

Looks like corporate rates are staying low

[16hypen3sp]

r/alberta tears are flowing lol.

[Brent.ff]

CTV called it for UCP. Based on the election map, the Wildrose just got elected…

[Disoblige]

It's obvious UCP.

[Buster]

Someone do a welfare check on toma.

Haha.

[SJW]

Go big oil. Another 4 years of my kids being fed.

[CompletelyNumb]

The CBC election coverage was a perfect mix of desperation and satire. I don't watch live election coverage often, not sure if this is par for the course, but holy smokes was the coping hard. Pro NDP, anti UCP, every UCP win met with snide remarks or jabs. 100 mentions of NDP leading the polls for the last few years.
