@diarmuid307 In short, it could simply come down to geography. Each box / booth is allocated a geographical area - so no they do not fill one box and then fill the other. Think of your voting card: you are allocated a box in advance. So different housing estates for example can swing wildly!
@paulfetton@McGuinnessConor @MattShanahanTD @maryroche I won't offer an opinion - but the data shows the trend has been in reverse the past few counts. There is also be a lot of 'stacked transfers' in this bunch from previous candidates so hard to call East/West Left/Right and so on!
Potential final count in #Waterford#GE24. Showdown between @McGuinnessConor @MattShanahanTD for the final seat
The gap started at 436 ballooned to 1,373 and is down to 639 with 4,887 votes to be distributed via elimination of @maryroche

Over 40 volunteers are working on this #Tally. This includes counters, runners, data inputters, coordinators and more from across political interests (and none!). Itβs really useful data on days like today but also for future elections.
