Rodney Conor won by 6 votes.

Recount on now.

Conor by 6 votes!!! Fcuk!!!

6 votes - My God.

Shockingly close.

How likely is it that there would be a mistake in the counting ?

Mc Guiness walks Mid Ulster again.

With only 6 votes, it could be a multiple recount.

There were probably 6 students drinking in the SU in Belfast who didn't make the Shinner bus home.

The spoiled votes will come under a lot of scutiny now ...

Balls.

How many Nationalist were denied postal and proxy votes?

Legal challenges ahead.

Long way to go perhaps in this one.

6 votes - crazy. Possibly several recounts on the way.

Maguire01 · May 07, 2010, 03:06:29 AM

Ritchie in on a substantially increased majority.

Mad alright.

This will run and run regardless of who wins or loses.

The refusal of postal votes will be massive.

Refused on the basis of a signature

Don't think so.

My mistake. Maybe I was thinking about what some on here were saying regarding last assemby elections.

The 'Ruane' factor at play here - she's just not a credible candidate for SF.
