In the end, it wasn't really that close.
With all 287 local polls now reporting, Liberal Terry Sheehan has won the riding of Sault Ste. Marie-Algoma with 30,271 votes — 1,623 more than Conservative candidate Hugh Stevenson, who collected 28,648 votes.
That means Sheehan won 47.33 per cent of the vote, compared to 44.79 per cent for Stevenson.
Finishing a distant third in the local race was Laura Mayer of the NDP, with 4,215 votes (6.59 per cent).
The Green Party's Robyn Eshkibok finished fourth (531 votes, or 0.83 per cent) and James Collins of the Christian Heritage Party came last, with 297 votes (0.46 per cent).

Sheehan delivered a victory speech early this morning to supporters gathered at The Grand Theatre. A few hours later, as SooToday first reported, Stevenson conceded defeat, putting aside any speculation about a potential recount.
He later issued a statement congratulating Sheehan on his victory and "wishing him the very best in the future."
