Apparently a lot of voters have been thinking this was a federal election and voted according to that or were confused.

I am so thrilled that the livelihood of my family and myself gets to be decided by people that have a worse understanding of basic politics than a fourth grader.

There really ought to be a mandate or something that provincial parties cannot share names with federal ones, to prevent this sort of confusion, imo

I'm far too exhausted from doing Election Official duties for 15 hours straight to give a fuck about the outcome of the election.

I also did the advanced voting, and either my normal hours on the days in between. It's been a 89 hr week.

They're saying final results for mail in ballots won't be counted until October 26th. We might not have a clear winner for a week!

Less than 100 votes decides this. Insanity.

This is absurd. I simultaneously cannot watch or look away.

I'm hoping BC isn't dumb, gosh I hope we aren't dumb as rocks.

I have all my fingernails on the left.

But I keep chewing the right ones off..

I do, because I knew this race was going to be close and I went to sleep as I didn't want worrying over this election to interfere with that sleep. Now upon waking I find out my sleep gets to be interfered with until those mail in ballots are settled. My lord, this is way too close for comfort.

Another election in the spring?

Nah, the ndp and greens can work together. I dont understand why so many people want an election when there is a minority government, the ndp only scored 44.72% of the vote at the time of writing, they do not deserve all the power that's tyranny. They must work with the other parties.

Just drinking at the NDP afterparty lmao...

NDP failed to get the majority of the vote so far so they must work with others.
