Abstract
In two-candidate election the votes are counted in random order. Suppose that candidate AA was the leader until the 9th vote. How may we use this information in predicting the future winner? To this aim we derive distributions of the first leadership time both for the winner and loser. Our conclusion is rather surprising.
