The VEC helpfully took down all information about polling booth locations when the polls closed, so I’m flying a bit blind here. Is the RMIT booth Melbourne, or Melbourne Central? Which of the three Carlton booths is Carlton Primary School?
Carlton Primary school is in Carlton proper, not north or south. Just beside a housing commission tower block. Carlton North had a couple of booths. Princes Hill was at the church in Macilray Street.
Tweetledoo from the VEC:
@youngapprentice @benraue @kattekrab The first results won’t be far away. With 16 candidates the counters must be very methodical #MelbVotes

I think Carlton Primary is in Carlton North, which would mean that there’s not much of a swing in 1st preferences.
In 2010, Greens had a 35.8% primary vote, leading Labor on 34.3%.
by Von Kirsdarke on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:25 pm
Carlton last time was ALP 803 Lib 412 Grn 630 first prefs
Make of that what you will, i dont think we can make anything of it
by drowner on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:26 pm
RMIT is on the northern edge of the CBD next to the State Library of Victoria
by mexicanbeemer on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:26 pm
William: Twitter suggests that RMIT booth did not exist last time
Carlton Primary School is apparently Carlton?
by drowner on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:27 pm
The Town Hall is usually the CBD booth

msm script:
ALP win: local issues
Greens win: federal issues.

Oh no, wait, sorry, I was reading Google Maps wrong. Carlton Primary is a bit too far down to be in the North.
by Von Kirsdarke on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:28 pm
If my information is correct Carlton North booth is Princess Hill P.S
by mexicanbeemer on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:30 pm
Why would they take this down? For crying out loud VEC!
by drowner on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:31 pm
Due to State Liberal Government cutbacks, VEC will announce By Election results on Monday.

It is their wish to increase the degree of difficulty for interstate interlopers.

Sex Party wins: hand of Satan

Princes Hill, as in the hill of the prince, not Princess Hill.

This delay is ridiculous
Can’t they count in Victoria
by daretotread on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:36 pm
thanks Psephos
by mexicanbeemer on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:36 pm
Ie: nothing at the Princes Hill Primary School.
by Alexander Strang on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:36 pm
I’ve found it.
Carlton Primary is the Carlton booth. I found it on a cached version of the VEC site.
by Von Kirsdarke on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:36 pm
That is, a Monday, in July, 2013.
by joe2 on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:36 pm

How is the DLP related to the Spanish Football team?
by Disasterboy on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:37 pm
Something to do with Franco?
by Psephos on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:38 pm
Can we induce the VEC?
by Independently Thinking on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:39 pm
why are we waiting……….
by womble on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:40 pm
Psephos, thanks for the explanation thats what I suspected.
by Disasterboy on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:40 pm

by Independently Thinking on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:40 pm
The Spanish football team doesn’t believe in anthropogenic global warming?
by ShowsOn on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:40 pm
one hour 40 and the only info is some primaries from an undisclosed carlton location and a random tweet from a booth that didnt exist last time
by drowner on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:41 pm
Do you have a link for that?
by William Bowe on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:41 pm
You lot are definitely more fun than Antony Green’s computer.
by lizzie on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:42 pm
And how long will it take them to do the redistribution?
by mexicanbeemer on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:43 pm
Gosh antony green would be going ballistic at this stage
by drowner on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:43 pm
It depends what’s on Antony Greens’ computer at any given time…
by Independently Thinking on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:43 pm
Maybe the Liberals won the seat and the VEC don’t want to tell anyone for the Liberals didn’t run
by mexicanbeemer on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:44 pm
we got votes! Nth Melb East and Parkville
by drowner on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:46 pm
so at 1 and 3 quarter hours the sex party way out in front with naught(y) listed as the result at all places listed
by walker james on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:46 pm
Vec site 40% Green 30% ALP abt 1000 votes
by Oakeshott Country on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:46 pm
According to Twitter three booths are showing swings away from the ALP
source: james campbell
by mexicanbeemer on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:46 pm
Great to see the 4.2% swing to the sex party.
by swamprat on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:47 pm
Unfortunately not. I just did a google search and clicked the site preview button, and the booths were there.
I’m annoyed that google doesn’t have a cached button for sites anymore.
by Von Kirsdarke on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:48 pm
its hard to analyse these without a lib candidate
by drowner on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:48 pm
Parkville is interesting, normally the three major parties poll between 300-400 each yet here only 51 informal.
by mexicanbeemer on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:50 pm
There will always be lower vote counters under liberal.
by shellbell on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:51 pm
Was interesting to hear Daniel Andrews out there again today saying send a message to Baillieu, vote Labor
That’s dumb for mine, does he mean Baillieu fans from the Libs should vote Green???
by womble on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:52 pm
Primaries NthMelbEasy: ALP 27% GRN 38%
last time: ALP 28% GRN 35%
(envelope)
Looks like Libs voted for Mayne, Nolte, anyone, and donkey?
