Note: Elections Canada[8] and the Canada Elections Database[9] states that Palmer and Libby both received 7,207 votes, for a total vote count of 24,848. However, this is very inconsistent with reporting from several local newspapers, who reported that Libby only got several hundred votes. Since the newspapers were fairly consistent in the vote counts reported following the election, those are the numbers that have used in the chart above.
