Ballots Counting Ongoing

From the first article:
"In a Wednesday briefing, the National Elections Commission reported that the process of counting all ballots from the 3,070 polling stations throughout the country could take three to seven days, but the first partial results were released later in the day. These tallies from 39 polling places showed a tight contest between the standard bearer for the Unity Party, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, with 24.6 percent, and George Weah, with 21.2. Charles Brumskine trailed with 10 percent.
The high rate of illiteracy in the country had a serious impact on the voting process. Many people who woke early to stand in line and who could not read instructions posted on the walls found out hours later that they were in the wrong place. The lack of electricity in places also complicated the process. Polls were scheduled to close at 6:00pm, but many remained open until 7:00 to cater to voters who were already in line.
The elections workers then had to start counting ballots in the dark - by candle light or flash light. Very few of the polling places had generators."
