Michelle O'Neill was very prominent at the polling stations around the Coalisland area all day yesterday. She must be panicking about the couple of independents running in the area.

I'd say all politicians stayed close to their local stations yesterday.

Makes sense.

Was at my local polling station after work, unfortunately I'm in a Unionist dominated ward, the lads from the TUV and DUP wearing their rosette's would sicken your hole

But, there is a neighbour and going to say loosely ten times removed 'friend' that is running for the UUP, in fairness to him he's a very local man who has just local issues to concern himself with but him and his wife were outside the station , normal clothes and no badges or colours, was refreshing to see..

Have been fighting with my conscious since I voted yesterday. Did something in 25+ years of voting which I never done before. Voted all the way down the ballot including the DUP as my second last preference and the TUV last. I feel dirty. Please tell me I wasn't wrong in what I did!!

I think you were right to stay awake while voting

Not a result as such but a tally, talk of a second Alliance seat in Balmoral at the expense of the DUP.
Some really high turnout figures west of the Bann as usual, particularly Coalisland and Enniskillen. Low in traditionally Unionist areas.

The low turn out in these Traditional Unionist areas, won't affect the result which will roughly stay the same, different hues of the same sh*t.

However the low turn out will be a blow to the narrative that wee Jeff was trying to play too, a large strong confident unionist anti-protocol turn out.

Can the inference be taken from this that as suspected, regular people including Unionist PUL don't really care?

Any good places to watch election coverage?

Nearly 6 out of 10 people in Antrim didn't feel motivated enough to vote #Unionistfury

You'd have thought with the weather being great turn out would have been slightly better? Are people fed up?

I think BBC journalists are on strike today because of job cuts etc.

Picked it for full maximum effect.

Fair play to them.

Torrent DEA (Coalisland, Clonoe, Ardboe - very Republican DEA, Michelle O Neills home DEA) was 65.6%, up 5.9% from last time.

Was wondering why radio Ulster had BBC 5 live on instead

Adam Smyth, the new BBC NI Director is hardly off to a flyer in his new role, not helped by his TUV candidate mum spouting anti-Irish guff the other day..
