The TPP has about 480 votes but this total doesn't include postal which in first preferences has about 500 more for the liberal. The absentee I think will give a more to Labor +Green but be a net gain to Liberals because of exhaustion (no one is giving out how to votes for absentees)Ifonlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05267980503406226256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052593945054595675.post-44790269025884466912015-03-30T17:00:47.428+11:002015-03-30T17:00:47.428+11:00looking at Gosford, it would appear that the vote ...looking at Gosford, it would appear that the vote on the night was 31,000 41% to 39% with 28,000 flowing to TPP 49.42% and 50.58%. The postal and prepoll show an additional 7,400 votes with the percentage split 47% 35%. Giving a new primary split of 43% 38%. The absentees are still to come but it looks to me that Gosford is going back to the coalition.Ifonlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05267980503406226256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052593945054595675.post-27153406032967375622015-03-30T16:33:03.156+11:002015-03-30T16:33:03.156+11:00Quite likely such issues would have slightly advan...Quite likely such issues would have slightly advantaged candidates with good ballot draws or perhaps encouraged informal voting.<br /><br />I have a range of concerns about the sheer size of the NSW ballot paper. There is a need for the NSW constitution to be amended to adapt to the use of above-the-line boxes and reduce the number of candidates required to stand for a party box.Kevin Bonhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845545257440242894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052593945054595675.post-42842986410075037762015-03-30T14:40:59.677+11:002015-03-30T14:40:59.677+11:00In regard to the LC election ballot paper - At my ...In regard to the LC election ballot paper - At my local polling place I watched how the papers were handed to voters. The paper was gently folded (but not creased) several times. and handed over with the first groups of candidates visible at the top. <br /><br />When people got to the stall it was very hard for them to manage to spread the paper out - if they bothered to try.<br /><br />Do you think this might be conducive to them voting for candidates in the A to D groups or leaving the paper entirely blank?Albert Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06872588387691003792noreply@blogger.com
