Following last Monday’s election, two guys named Matt Peters and Ryan Boldt parsed the results from 14 ridings where the outcome was particularly tight and posted their findings on Facebook. In each instance, the Conservative candidate emerged victorious. The combined margin victory was 6,201 votes, and the 14 seats were enough to give Harper his majority.
