    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

    No, I was right the first time, they havent distributed his transfers yet.

    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.
    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!!

    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?
