A Night in the Tally Room

Labor has won the Queensland election and Anna Bligh is Australia's first elected female premier. For the first time the tally room, where they electronically count the votes and announce the winner of the election, was open to the public. Vas and I went there on a whim, hoping to kill some time before watching a movie, but ended up staying for hours.
