Liberal incumbent Carla Qualtrough received the most votes in all three Delta communities in Monday’s federal election on her way to a more than 4,300-vote victory.
The Optimist did a poll-by-poll analysis of election day totals at all 29 polling stations in the riding to see if voting patterns differed in the city’s three communities. Although Qualtrough, who was a minister in Justin Trudeau’s cabinet during her first term in office, had larger margins in North Delta, she was well supported throughout the riding.
She ended up winning 23 of the riding’s 29 polling stations.
Qualtrough won North Delta by 1,939 votes (7,183-5,244), topping 13 of the 15 polling stations. Conservative candidate Tanya Corbet, who finished second in Monday’s election, won Pinewood and Seaquam.
Qualtrough won Ladner by 670 votes (4,015-3,345), winning five of six polling stations. Corbet won Neilson Grove by 20 votes.
In Tsawwassen, Qualtrough won by 477 votes (3,689-3,212), taking five of the eight polling stations, including the Tsawwassen First Nation Recreation Centre (115-111). Corbet, a TFN member and former councillor, won Cliff Drive, English Bluff and South Park.
The numbers don’t include advance, mobile or mailed votes, only those ballots cast at polling stations on election day.
When all votes were counted, Qualtrough received 21,969 (41.2 per cent) to Corbet’s 17,638 (33.1 per cent).
