I never imagined that polyamory would include waiting breathlessly at my computer for 10pm, when the CBC will start reporting election returns.

I'm trying not to, because I've found that (at least with US elections) that's a good way to wind up short on sleep, and quite possibly go to bed at 2 or 3 a.m. still not knowing.

I'm glad to kow I'm not the only one. Though I think marriage did it to me, which is tangentially related to polyamory.

Polls in Ontario closed 15 minutes ago. Returns are already being reported.

And so, of course, the CBC web site is experiencing technical difficulties.

If CBC is giving you trouble, you can go here (http://cac28.insinc.com/cponline/election2006/elxn_eng.html). No analysis, but the results are there. Plus, it's kind of cute.

Seriously. I'm not even her girlfriend and I'm glued to the Edmonton Sun Web page, and keep hitting refresh.

Whoo! Did you see this? (http://www.edmontonsun.com/News/Election/2006/01/23/1407258-sun.html)

It's just depressing that the AUPE had to urge people to do strategic voting, instead of just voting for the best candidate and letting IRV take care of the rest.

No, what's depressing is the fact that our electoral system forces people to vote strategically in the first place. And that it distorts the vote to the point where an beautiful and extremely colourful city-wide result ends up looking nothing but Tory blue.

FIX THE SYSTEM NOW! (http://idealisticpragmatist.blogspot.com/2005/11/proportional-representation-faq.html)

We're actually in agreement here; that's what I meant about letting I.R.V. take care of the rest. It's no panacea, but it's a step towards proportional representation (which latter I do believe in strongly; see my homepage).

Hey, politics is sexy, and you know us HotBiBabes, we're all about the sex.

And here *I* am, following along too. I do hope J's candidate does well.

I was too incoherent with exhaustion to comment on this when I got home last night, but it made me grin all over. *squeeze*
