Read on Twitter
The dangers of reporting too quickly late at night after a long campaign. Result - errors in what I reported and tweeted last night about vote count. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #abvotes #yyc #yeg
So I’ve revised the column online - again. calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…
First, the scanners at advance polls DO count votes. They are not connected to the internet. Each local returning officer communicates the riding-by-riding votes from each machine to Elections Alberta. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #abvotes #yyc #yeg
On election day, Monday, the scanners are not used. All voting and counting is done with paper ballots which are counted by humans. Scrutineers nominated by candidates can be present for the counting. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #abvotes #yyc #yeg
The advance poll results will be known pretty quickly on Monday but the count of Monday’s votes will take longer. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #abvotes #yyc #yeg
I’ve herd no suggestion from anybody involved for either UCP or NDP of anything unfair or rigged going on. Once again, apologies for adding to the confusion. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #abvotes #yyc #yeg
