Elections Canada assures voters anyone in line by 7 PM in BC will get to vote! 8 minutes left, folks!by Betsy Trumpener via twitter 10/20/2015 1:52:40 AM

LATEST from Elections Canada: If you are in line by 7 p.m. you will be processed and able to vote. There are still long lines at some polling stations in Metro Vancouver and on Vancouver Island.
"We have a very specific process that takes place," said Spokesperson Dorothy Sitek. An Elections Canada worker is sent to the very end of the lineup wherever that lineup ends at 7 p.m. and that person serves as a marker. Everyone who is standing in front of that marker gets to be processed and vote." -

A lot of talk tonight about whether B.C.'s vote matters. Here's a take from UBC Political Science professor Gerald Baier:
"For voters here I think it’s still important to remember that it’s 338 separate individual elections across the country, and so you might not have as much of a say in the overall outcome for British Columbians, but I think it’s still going to be important who’s going to represent you in your riding for the next four or so years.
"I think it’s part of the new environment we’re in, I think it’s something that people will learn to live with, but I think certainly it’s not as close as we thought it would be at the beginning of the night.
"I think a big part of the projection is part of the seeming collapse of the NDP in Quebec, and probably Ontario, just the fact that you can project that into Liberal seats makes a big difference." -
