IT'S been a tight race for the seat of Paterson, and while both incumbent Labor MP Meryl Swanson and Liberal candidate Brooke Vitnell are confident they did everything they could to resonate with voters - neither seemed satisfied on Saturday with how the campaign trail played out.
Ms Vitnell said she has been disappointed with "grubby" campaign tactics - arguing 800 of her signs had been vandalised or stolen prior to early voting - while Swanson fired off about the conservative "scare campaign" that a vote for Labor risks jobs in the coal industry.
