Voters reacted with shock, many uncomfortable with early media projection
Voters in B.C. reacted with surprise and anger to media projections for a Liberal government before polls even closed.
With 20 minutes to polls closing in B.C., major media outlets including CBC and CTV were forecasting a Liberal win.
This vote differed from previous elections as media were allowed to report the results prior to all polls closing.
That upset some voters on the West Coast who were concerned their ballots had not yet been counted.
Some were concerned that voters who were already in line would walk away.
