With the counting of the special ballots, National dropped one seat, giving a potential Labor/left coalition (consisting of Labor, Progressives, Greens and Maori) 61 seats, and a potential center-right coalition (consisting of National, NZ First and ACT) 60 seats. See:

I wonder how many corpses had to vote to make this happen. We have Demonrats, they have Labor.

"With the counting of the special ballots".

That`s also how its done in the U.S.. There always seems to be "special" ballots that magically appear in storerooms, rivers, trunks of cars , back alleys , or simply out of thin air.
