election night

Diane Alexopolous stands amongst her many supports on election night, including NDP leader Jack Layton to her left, waiting for the final polls to be counted. Alexopolus caused a surprise upset in ward 29, losing to incumbent Case Ootes by only 20 votes during the Toronto municipal election November 13. Both candidates waited hours for the final two polls to be counted while Alexopolus sat in the lead by over 140 votes, which is now being blamed on car troubles. Candidates are exploring the option of a recount.
