  1. @JEmphatically Yes it took us almost an hour and a half before supper. Bad process or good turnout? #yyc #ableg #abvotes

  2. @deadDuck For the record, Elections Calgary have now replied today and say there will be no electronic vote-counting: "As per the Local Authorities Election Act (LAEA), ballots will be hand counted by election workers after voting stations close on Election Day."

    So, I guess _some_ good news out of a not-great Act.

  3. @jace Johnson's comments were so very disturbing. But as Pride Month begins, I'm holding on to this hopeful story from Innisfail, just up to the road. albertaviews.ca/innisfail-prid :CApride:​ #abvote #abvotes

  4. Kinda amazing how many consequential outcomes in Alberta politics over the past year have been decided by votes of just over 50%

    May 2022: Jason Kenney gets 51.4% support in leadership review. He resigns.

    October 2022: Danielle Smith wins UCP leadership on sixth round of voting with 53.8% of the ballots.

    May 2023: UCP wins election with 52.6% of the popular vote.

  5. I’m really looking forward to being represented in our government by a group of people who are not representative of me or my city. #ableg #abpoli #abvotes

  6. Alberta elections, historically, tend to be blowouts. Not many close contests.

    The seat margin in this year's vote is the smallest there's ever been. (11 seats separate government & official opposition, if you include Jennifer Johnson with the UCP; 10 seats if you don't.)

  8. CW: Alberta election, moving

    The #ABVotes result mean i have no hope left for this province and i'm going to start planning to move in earnest. Targeting moving in 2024-2025. Anyone else planning to move? Where to? I'd like to go where we know people, so i will seriously consider moving to a place if a friend says that's where they are going. Halifax and Victoria are near the top of my list.

  9. Today, 62% of registered Alberta voters voted.
    Over half of them gave Danielle DeSantis here a #ucp majority gov.

    Jennifer "LGBTQ2IA+ children are pieces of shit" Johnson got 67% of the votes cast in her riding.

  11. my riding was just called by #cbc and it looks like that’ll have to be enough for me tonight. yikes. going to bed. #abvotes

  12. If there’s one potential upside to this delay in counting advance polls: if the trend from the US holds steady, left-leaning voters participate in early voting initiatives more than do right-leaning voters. There might be a bigger proportion of NDP votes waiting to be tabulated. #ableg #abpoli #abvotes #canpoli

  13. right now there are countless poll workers working hard late tonight counting ballots to bring us results … send them warm thoughts and positive vibes…. the technical problems are not their fault. #abvotes #abpoli
