Votes

If you minus 2,000 votes from the APC’s votes and add them to Adeleke’s votes, the voided votes would have been much lower than the margin of difference between the two parties, giving ultimate victory to Adeleke.

Mr. McCready surpassed the quota of 1,350 votes with a total of 1,414 votes following the allocation of lower preference votes from the Independent and People Before Profit candidates.

Every state has a set number of electoral college votes and, with a couple of exceptions, the candidate winning a popular majority of votes in each state then gets assigned all that state’s electoral college votes.

First past the post hands constituencies to whichever candidate wins the most votes, regardless of whether they took the overall majority of votes (the combined votes for other candidates could add up to more than the winner).

The First Minister pointed to seats won by the SNP’s Pete Wishart and Stephen Gethins in 2017 when they were elected by 21 votes and two votes respectively as an example of just how close previous votes have been.

With getting 46 votes, Michael Thomas 21, six (he was the first-time “flex” player with 22 votes), and Smith-Schuster one each, which of those guys who didn’t quit during his team’s “darkest hour” should have lost votes to Brown?
