The result of the third ballot between Michael Ignatieff, Bob Rae, and Stéphane Dion is announced at the Palais des Congres in Montreal.
Results:
1. Stéphane Dion - 1,782 votes - 37.0%
2. Michael Ignatieff - 1,660 votes - 34.5%
3. Bob Rae - 1,375 votes - 28.5%
With no candidate garnering the required 50%+1 of votes, Rae was eliminated, and a final ballot was held.
(The voice in the background that yells "Holy!" after hearing Dion's result is me. I was rightly surprised. If you look closely you might see Scarborough-Guildwood MP John McKay in front of me at one point.)
