I will take solace in Sherman losing his seat tonight after the disgusting strategic voting.

Only 12 polls remaining to be counted in Fort Mac-Wood Buffalo and incumbent WRP (floor-crosser) is trailing by ~200 votes.

About half the polls counted in C-Glenmore, and the incumbent WRP (floor-crosser) is trailing by a substantial amount.

lol.

There was no way than Wildrose could win with 34%, so strategical voting changed nothing.

I think I'm at 43/87 correct. Just a few more WRP seats and I can get over 50%.

Ted Morton has been defeated, so interesting the furthest right PC member has lost.  I often thought he would defect to the Wild Rose if they won and he won his seat.

Battle River and Cold Lake swing back to WRP (both seats I projected would be close)

The WRP should probably just shut down.

It seems like Danielle Smith didn't have a concession speech written and Alison Redford didn't have a victory speech either.

True enough, although probably best to just make an adhoc one anyways as polls have in many cases been wrong.  Its not impossible to make a good adhoc one, in fact good speakers can make one on the spot.

Not the most disappointing result(that would have been Wildrose majority), but the second most disappointing result.

It's like one minute you're preaching from the pulpit at some exceedingly dull church; the next you're a giving a Womens' Studies lecture at Berkeley.

Hatman, will you be posting an analysis about how you and most everyone else got the results wrong?

Yup. I am doubly bad, as my numbers were the worst.

Anyways, I have a results page that I've updating: http://canadianelectionatlas.blogspot.ca/
I will update the map as each riding with 100% of the polls reporting come in.

Is there really much more to say other than at the last minute everyone got cold feet?

EDIT: Well I guess it's possible all the polls had turnout models wildly off. Actually that seems pretty reasonable.

PC probably had the greater voter database and therefore a more coordinated GOTV campaign.

I've modeled my chart similarly to the one on this site Smiley

So do they continue counting throughout the night?  Or will they call it a day and resume counting tomorrow?

Either St Albert is over-populated following the redistribution, or there is incredible turnout up there (or both).

You know I hate to point out the flaws with FPTP, but the WRP got screwed over majorly by it. The PC shouldn't have gotten 62 seats with 44% of the vote.

Well, I predicted in the inverse :/

To answer your other question, they should continue counting. It's only 11:11 in Alberta
