The county names in Liberia are interesting:

Are voters in Bong high?

Lofa, of course, is known around the world for it’s famous bread.

with now 73% of the vote counted, I feel confident in calling the first round for Weah (43.8%) and Boakai (43.5%) - there are not enough Weah votes left in his southern strongholds to make up 7%. Boakai even though seemingly flipping the peripheral counties of Monrovia does not have enough votes left either. With 12% going towards other candidates will see the current results hold, with Weah likely to have a slight edge in the final count. Both advance to the runoff.

@sarius Results available here. If there is any last second surprises, I'll come back to see how to fix this.

Won't resolve this just yet - only around 50% of the vote is now in. Boakai and Weah neck to neck - either could still win this in the first round.

MONROVIA, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Vote counting was underway in Liberia on Tuesday during an election in which President George Weah is seeking a second term after six years marred by corruption allegations and abiding economic hardship in Africa's oldest independent republic.

I will resolves this as soon as the official results are announced. If the preliminary official results are decisive I might resolve it earlier too.
