Excited crowd at Hovde party

Party-goers burst into cheers and chants of “Hovde, Hovde” when they saw themselves in a live shot on TV.

A moment later, a few in the crowd let booed when returns showed Thompson held a narrow lead.

The crowd has grown considerably here since 9 p.m., as there are about 200 now in attendance.

The mood is upbeat but a little tense, and large crowds are gathered around the various screens in the room, closely watching the returns.
