BURLINGTON, ON.
There are people who play close attention to politics and love to analyze results and make projections based on that analysis.
This evening at 8:01 pm the city will load data from the advance polls and the votes cast via the internet into the system that is run by Dominion Voting Services. Seconds later that data will be available to media.
The application we have put together scans the Dominion Voting server and the results appear on the service we are running.
The advance poll and the internet numbers were quite high this year. We’ve no idea which wards the people who voted early live in but by about five minutes after 8 pm we could get a sense as to where this election is going to end up.
There are three seats that are in play: wards 4, 5 and 6.
Many are interested in seeing what impact Peter Rusin will have on the Mayor’s vote.
We could know how the vote is going to play itself out by 8:15. If there is one of those back and forth situations – you can watch the way it works live on the Gazette.
Let’s hope. All 3 deserve to go. Add Snarky Craven to the list. Time for a change and not just for the sake of change.
