    Thank Christ we do not have Electronic Voting this time

    Looking back at 2002 and their RTE coverage it lacks the drama of the count. I hope we never see it.

    BTW RTE's have a great election site with Archieves of old elections night.

    This is a piece on a power cut in Montrose in the 1982 election night Great stuff.

    Looking forward to a few "Portillo monents" on May 25, 26, 27 .... this we can really only fully savour in the good old-fashioned but wonderfully dramatic way.
