All in the same boat

The Advertiser: Random recount of ballot:

"IRANIAN authorities are to randomly recount some ballots cast in the first round of presidential elections after several candidates complained of vote rigging."

So what else is new? Doesn't matter where elections are held these days, the general public in every country has wanted recounts and revotes and changes to the system. I guess we can be pleased that Iran is following in the footsteps of countries which have had voting for years. That , at least , is reassuring! It's nice to see them recounting. When a recount of votes in Kingston was requested because it was so close between Kym Richardson and David Cox, I do believe the request was declined. Mind you, I think everyone was pretty well exhausted from counting all the postal and other votes which were not made directly on the day. It's a pretty huge electorate
( relatively speaking!)


Richardson LIB 36,848 43.6 +3.8

Cox ALP 35,748 42.3 +3.4


Kingston (Key Seat)
