“Mr Hofer had 51.9% and Mr Van der Bellen - an independent candidate who is supported by the Green Party - had 48.1% after the final count of votes cast at polling stations, the interior ministry said.”

Homer is ahead by almost 4%. Unless they stuff absentee ballots, I doubt the greenie can close that gap.

The talk is that 12 percent of the total vote will be ‘postal ballots’.

With that in mind it would take Van der Bellen getting somewhere around 64-65 percent of that vote to overcome Hofer’s lead.
