PEI General Election 2015

[Zanas]

Guys, I know we're on one of the geekier boards on an already quite geeky forum, but could you at least be bothered to develop the acronym "PEI" at least once in the OP, I dunno ? Oh and maybe write 2 or 3 lines on what's the election gonna be about ? There are a few ignorant kids around, even around here.

PEI is Prince Edward Island.

Yeah, thanks, I happen to know that. I meant that not everybody necessarily knows that, and it could be good to explain in a few lines where it is, and what their political scene is like. Oh well...

[Zanas]

I don't know how advance votes tend to break in PEI, but for now it seems the NDP is in and the Greens are out.

[Zanas]

Ah yes, pardon me. Still, the NDP's advance in Charlottetown - Lewis Point seems unbridgeable now, except if there are sizeable amounts of advanced voting and they break heavily in favor of the Liberals or PC.

[Zanas]

Also, Green opens a 100 vote lead on the advanced votes in district 17 Kellys Cross Cumberland.

And the first ballot box looks promising with a 60-more lead !

Things are getting in very quickly and it looks like a very solid result for the Green leader. Already 280 votes ahead.

PC leader might win, after all. One box left and he is only 26 votes behind.

Advanced voting seems to have skewed heavily Liberal in his riding, NDP and Greens doing very poorly : is tactical advanced voting a thing ?

[Zanas]

PC now leading in a ninth seat : #21 Summerside - Wilmot, by 7 votes, 2 boxes left.

[Zanas]

Bevan-Baker wins.

With lots of votes still out in his riding, and not much anywhere else, the Greens could still catch up on the NDP and end 3d of the popular vote.
