Elections NB made a Canadian first today with its province-wide electronic voting system. Ballots were handed out not as slips of folded paper with golf-course-style mini pencils but in large, black privacy folders with Sharpie markers to colour in the ballot for easy computer reading.
The computerization of the vote means numbers are coming in fast and furious and they're being zapped directly to a web site, meaning the candidates aren't huddled with the press sweating out the results in some sparse backroom of a returning office picking from a meat and cheese tray.
Instead the press, at least some of the press, are at home watching the hockey game. I mean the election results. OK. Both.
