(Some of) Alberta votes (III)

Somewhat belatedly, here is the map of the final Alberta PC leadership election, district-by-district, after the redistribution of Horner's preferences to the final two candidates.

The previous maps (First Ballot, Second Ballot) used a two-tone colour scheme to distinguish between a candidate receiving a majority or a plurality of the vote. Since, in a final, two-candidate count, every result will necessarily be 50% or more, the tones here distinguish big honkin' majorities (60% or more) from mere majorities of 50-something percent.

(Some of) Alberta votes (II)

Per the same colour scheme as for the first-round results, here are the second-round results of the Alberta PC leadership vote, beautifully colour-coded and mapped according to which candidate carried which district's regular poll, and whether that candidate won a majority (dark) or plurality (pale) of the vote.

At this hour, there are still five districts left to report, one in Calgary, the rest in rural or small-town areas. Update to follow.

Final second-ballot results:

Special for Doug Horner and Ted Morton...

... and anyone else involved in the current Alberta PC leadership race.

Danny Williams and his party used to have a not-very-subtle message for recovering politicians and non-residents who intervened in current, local politics:
You know, to live out there and then come in here and tell us we're doing it all wrong is a bit much.

...

Well I must remind you that actually Brian Peckford is not in government number one, number two is that he's not a resident of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Or:
Mr. Crosbie had his day in government, and he made his decisions in that time - that was a long time ago. Now we are the government and we are going to do what we think is in the best interests of rural Newfoundland and Labrador, and that's exactly what we're doing here.
