Election result too close to call

Well it's almost 7am in Sydney. I think I slept for about five hours or maybe six last night. I did not sleep on Friday evening and haven't had much to eat. I can't even begin to describe the feeling right now... about 800 votes ahead, but not quite at the magic percentage required to stave off a recount of votes.

Instead of sleeping right now, I am awake. Wide awake. In two hours I will spend the entire day scrutineering as a recount begins. A result wont be known in the seat that my husband contested, against the incumbent Minister (won't be a minister now, after the result of the election) for a week. I would rather be in my husband's position than that of the incumbent. He held the seat for 12 years with a margin of 14.4%

It seems at last count, Mark was ahead at 14.9% with 95% of the vote counted.

More news later.
