Just received a call from the Lady. One of her colleague’s husband is a civil servant involved in vote counting. Apparently 30% of the votes have gone missing (in one of the voting stations?), so noone is allowed to leave, and there has been no announcement and no update since around 0330 hours.
There has been nothing on the press and media yet.
Major screw up there. I am seeing Judge Wu’s head on a silver plate.
Update (0748): The results are being announced, so the problem seems to have been resolved. Recount in Hong Kong Island going on right now. We’ll see.

Now they are saying there are more ballots received than issued. What a mess!
