There are 85 ridings being fought over in this election campaign, and trying to keep track of even half of them can be a daunting task for anyone not a political operative or a journalist assigned to election night duties. But in a close race that separates the top two parties by three percentage points or less (in other words, the usual B.C. election result), it's safe to say that about 60 of those ridings are locks for either the B.C. Liberals or the NDP.
