How did Andrews get to be on the top of this list? What are the odds of that happening?

He had a 1 in 14 chance, I guess   

A list of the names of the candidates in the order of receipt of nominations is used for the draw.

Consecutively numbered balls equal to the number of candidates are placed in a container large enough for all the balls to move freely when it is rotated.

The container is rotated by an AEC officer (usually the DRO) who then invites any other person present to rotate the container.

A person who has been blindfolded prior to the container being rotated then selects the balls one by one and passes them to another person who reads out each number. As the numbers are called, they are allocated to the candidates. That is, the first number called is written against the first candidate on the list.

The balls are then displayed to those present before being replaced in the container. Again, the container is rotated and any person present may rotate it.

The blindfolded person once again selects the balls one by one and passes them to another person who reads out the numbers. The numbers are placed in the second column on the list the order in which they are read out. Against each number is placed the name of the candidate who was allocated that number in the first draw.

The order of candidates in this second draw determines the order of names on the ballot paper.

Let us all reconvene here at say, 8pm....We should have an idea of how it  is going down by then and can finger point, gloat, make excuses etc. as is the custom in this place.

Yep, this "Guy".

The "Guy" who says it's important to have a Premier who listens to you.

Be sure to read some of the replies.

Well, I'm just back from my civic duty to vote in the Victorian State Election.

It was quite busy at the polling booth.

I have voted for Dan The Man's Party once again, given that Dan is the best Premier we have had for a very very long time.   

I lived through the dark years of the Kennett Government. That was a bleak period for sure.   

I reckon Labor will be returned to government for a third term but there may be a bit of a scare for Dan.

Dan was just following orders. They were doing this everywhere

Sportsbet has dilusional Dan the very short odds favourite at $1.10, the other guy is at $7.00, the word on the street is Dan is going to get slaughtered. Get your bet on now, it's easy money.

Dan is on his way out of town, he didn't even vote in his own county, that says a lot for the spineless hunchback with the world's Guinness record for the longest lockdown and most jabbed subjects.
