If by interesting you mean there are at least 5 counts to go before anyone could possibly be elected

Doyle has gone from 10041 to 10270 on 11 counts
can't possibly reach the quota of 11,764 for another 5 counts ( and that would require 75% of the votes going to him)

Yeah but the 3 FG's are formalities... It's 4th and 5th that are really going to take shape over the next couple of counts.
Really Hope Brady gets a chunk from somewhere to move away from Donnelly.

I'm really hoping for the exact opposite.

Donnelly's a good guy.

Down to 318 between Donnelly and Brady now, this could end up horribly close at the end, depending on how the Labour transfers go.

Ferris isn't doing as well as I thought she would and one of her two most likely sources of transfers are gone and she's still well down on 4th and 5th.

The source was only just eliminated so we havent seen the transfer boost for her as a result yet.

This is going to come down to Steve (a mate of mine as it happens!) and the SF bloke. It may well be decided by the surplus of votes from the three FG guys, which would be good for Steve I think...

I have entertained that notion myself. On Morning Ireland, they mentioned Wicklow may have a result by Christmas:o

Surely most of the Labour transfers will go to Anne Ferris and she might get a seat...?

Sorry, now I'm doubting myself... RTE seems to be confused itself because the twitter says the Lab candidate has been eliminated and his votes are to be distributed, on the 12 count. But the spreadsheet says he was eliminated and that the votes have been distributed. If thats so... Anne Ferris is boned as she go fewer transfers from her colleague that Steve hahaha

I think that's the reason that the returning officer is doing everything so slowly and carefully. She's an experienced RO, strong legal background, and she knows how important complete accuracy is in the count.

afaik as I know Kavanagh has been eliminated in the last count and his votes are now being distributed to the other candidates.

Yea was just looking at that, he got more transfers than any of the other s did, from Kavanagh! Looking good.

Thought I saw a tweet saying they had, maybe I'm reading the chart wrong.

Is that why they misplaced 3 boxes yesterday?!


If this comes down to a hundred votes or so, this is going to turn into our Florida over the whole ballot fiasco too...

If you look in the spread sheet, the column marked "13+/-" has a -3503 amount in it, thats his votes being deducted from him, (cos he's out).

Soon they will put various +xy numbers in the column to show where those votes went.

SF prob wont get many FG surplus but I think Brady will do really well from Behans transfers. Donnelly will do well from other sources, the gap could open up and close again on the next count.

Tv3 news just said the count could go on until tomorrow in Wicklow!!

beloved employees of Wicklow County Council, say this count goes on till tomorrow who are going to fill their jobs in the County Buildings?

Mushy

Monkeys!

DeVore

I suspect the recount is because there are two FF'ers on very very close vote counts. The one who is eliminated will transfer strongly to the other I presume... putting them up the list and will survive a little longer.


I wont matter of course but still, its nice to see FF falling on each other and trying to throw each other to the wolves, right at the death of things. Warms my cynical heart

He gets eliminated on the 13th count, isn't happy obvs so has called for a COMPLETE recount. that is right a COMPLETE recount. as in from scratch (from what i can gather) all 24 candidates votes over again!!!! starting at 9am in the morning. :eek::eek::mad:

What's the procedure for requesting a recount? Can they be refused? What if they're still not satisfied after the recount .. are there checks in place to ensure the count doesn't go on forever?
