Ultimately it is the numbers that prevail in the final crunch count. However, in Goa as we are seeing voting taking place, it is pertinent that we analyse the numbers game. There are 11.7 lakh voters in Goa and South Goa accounts for about 5.9 lakh voters with women voters marginally outnumbering men. Similarly, the North Goa has about 5.8 lakh voters with almost half each being men and women voters. The fact is that the interweaving of the voters choice of the candidates will decide the fate of the major candidates. South Goa with about 2 lakh minority community voters which account for about one-thirds of the electorate and in the north, minority voters which account for about one-sixth of the electorate may not be enough to tilt the balance in favour of the INDIA candidates. It could be fair to expect a 60% to 40% chances of the INDIA candidate winning in the south and in the north much against expectations, it could be a 51% to 49% surprisingly for the INDIA candidate. These projections are merely on the strength of the experience of the candidates.
