Later on the poll-by-poll results will be available. I really want
to have someone look at the polling stations that serve University
students and see if voter turnout is as bad as we are told (IE: the
lowest of any definable demographic in Canada).
I bet there are ridings where a high University turnout could have
changed the outcome -- if only students could be convinced to get
involved and that their voice matters!
