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.

Unsolicited foolish bold political prediction:

Within a year, both the UCP and the Alberta NDP will have new party leaders.

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.)

Obviously, the UCP/TBA cheated and the Alberta election was rigged. It's time for progressives to start a civil war and make sure those alt-right ignoramuses are never able to vote again!!!

The 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.

Apparently there's a problem with the tabulators not working. Well, that means it's going to be a long night. I'm going to bed.

Over on the hellsite, speculation that the Take Back Alberta scrutineers (who per a Press Progress report were trained to distrust the vote tabulation machines) may be behind the delayed results, and widespread dissatisfaction with irresponsible reporting based on the tiny vote numbers so far available.

So there was an election here today and the polls closed fully 2 hours ago and in my (urban) riding they have counted...

30 ballots

Seriously something has gone sideways somewhere even if they say everything is running normally.

What is it? Lack of scrutineers? Is collating results from all the new tabulators used at advanced polls a tricky process?

27 ridings within 100-vote margin, as of 9:54 p.m.

(Some with *very* few ballots counted so far).

Nearly 800,000 people voted in advance, so until the overall number of votes passes that, -shrug-.
