Wrapped up the counting for the day, looks like (my guess) they got through 70%-80%. There will be counting tomorrow but not sure how long it will go. Niko and his team have done a tremendous job on this.

Another count stoppage, some of these seem to be for question and clarifications and some for objections. I can’t tell from here. So I may or may not have seen an objection yet.

Are we going to get a recount for 6/7 on the Council? 23 votes out of over 9k for each seems within a recountable margin

Remember how Satya Mitra jumped into the top 6 late last night? Well I think I found out what happened. It was 1-2 where Mitra got 607 votes, the most of any At-Large Council Candidate. By contrast Kamara got 351, Colorio got 414, and Bergman got 489. Mitra ran up the score there
