Wilkie!

Comment 27. And now it is completely confirmed that Wilkie has won (barring pretty much all of the few remaining votes going to one of Couser or Jackson, which most certainly will not happen). See HERE . As I have expected all along, the preferences of Couser split extremely unequally between Wilkie, Jackson and Simpkins, but the split is even more unequal than I projected with Simpkins gaining only 8% of them to Wilkie’s 53% and getting over Simpkins with (at present) 4735 votes to spare!
