Because the Toronto mayoral election is the largest one in the country, this also means Olivia Chow has won more votes in an election than any other in Canadian history. (Mel Lastman held the record with 483,277 in 2000.)

With more than 520,000 votes earned and a few polls still left to count, Olivia Chow will be elected with the largest raw vote total of any mayor since Toronto’s amalgamation in 1998. (Many more people in the city since Mel Lastman’s days, of course.)

Note that the first batch of polls (67/1,431 polls) is missing all polls in Toronto-Danforth and Beaches-East York. so don't get too excited / despaired about Brad Bradford's apparent lead.

CP24 reports that Chow camp has told them that Toronto results are waiting on voters still in line in Regent Park and Scarborough.

Gord Krantz is trailing big in Milton. He is 89 years old and was first elected to council three years before Pierre Elliott Trudeau became Prime Minister for the first time and has been mayor since Pierre Elliott Trudeau became Prime Minister for the second time.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Fun fact: The state fruit of Wisconsin is the cranberry, and some of the approximately 250 growers statewide came together to show the Brewers who they are rooting for in the World Series. (Thanks, Wisconsin State Cranberry Growers Association!)
