B.C. election outcome still murky, two weeks after voters go to the polls
VICTORIA — The final count in British Columbia’s tight and inconclusive election will be known on Wednesday, but the possibility of a judicial recount means the actual outcome might not be known for weeks.
The race between the Liberals and New Democrats in one key Vancouver Island riding swung back and forth on Tuesday.
The latest ballot count in the hotly contested Courtenay-Comox riding showed a 101-vote lead for New Democrat Ronna-Rae Leonard over Liberal Jim Benninger. Earlier, Benninger was ahead by three votes after starting the day 13 behind.
At stake is a one-seat Liberal majority if Benninger wins.
