Explain to me what you're doing, because numbers change throughout the night, don't they?
Anyway. Yeah. The reason the numbers were shifting around, if you were watching CBC, is because the numbers were letting us know who was leading in the riding count, not who had been elected in the ridings. Each riding has a lot of different polling stations, plus early voting (which was record-breaking this year) so the person who was in the lead shifted as different polls reported their numbers. If you saw some of their close-ups of specific ridings, they were sometimes saying things like "Let's look at Thunder Bay where we have... 35 votes for the Liberal, 20 for the Conservatives and 5 for the NDP."
My friend yelling at me over text: "They have to stop telling us about ridings where they have less than 100 votes. It's meaningless."
