I will be bringing you very little in the way of results because why do you need me to tell you a thing you can just read yourself.

Green Party leader Mike Schreiner is opening up a lead in his riding. Kathleen Wynne behind in her's. Horwath elected in her riding. Only a fraction of the polls reporting, but pretty wild already. NDP behind by about 3% overall.
