The Elections-BC website (http://elections.bc.ca/elections/ge2005/refresults.htm) was last updated at 00.00 midnight 17-18 May, with Initial Counts from 35 electoral districts. BC-STV got more than 50% of the votes in every one, but it got 60% of the votes in only 3 of the 35. Are the margins and the electorates of the remaining 44 likely to be large enough to give the overall 60% of votes required? It will be a tragedy if BC-STV wins every electoral district (60% of districts required) but fails to get 60% of the overall vote. We are watching with very great interest (and concern).
