I went to school in Michigan in the 1980’s....I watched the returns on a Windsor, ON affiliate when Brian Mulroney won.
Maybe the western affiliates don’t carry the news feed until their local polls close though.
I looked up the law, it was passed in 2000.
The passage in question
“Section 329 of the Canada Elections Act outlaws publishing election results from other ridings in constituencies where polls are still open”
So the national media and websites have to be silent, and people tweeted when they heard their local results on local tv and radio.
it has been 10 days now. Reporting back.
Enjoyed most of it ... the campaigning ... a very small group of vols ... even CT suburbanites are looking for a change ,... if they can overcome the DEM stronghold.
5 more days.
GOOD on you! I am hoping and praying Linda wins the US Senate seat!
Good luck. I got my lawyers for Romney assignment for Tuesday. Ready to go make sure there’s no shenanigans on my watch.
I want to verify this Tuesday night.
not sure if I reported back.
My candidate in CT won. 51% to 49%. 18-year incumbent is gone. Doorbell ringing was the difference maker.
Maybe the folks running this campaign should have been running the national GOP effort.
We got our butts kicked in the county, but I can honestly say that I tried my best. I have a dem state rep again thanks to the dem stronghold, but redistricting helps me with my senator taking me out of the Ann Arbor City district. Tim Walberg survived, which is good as well.
I've heard mixed reviews about Romney's campaign. It was a lot better than McCain's, but I've seen better. Doorknocks are still the best way to win.
