Scottish Election Recounts?

Report this post to the editors

"There were calls today for an investigation into the Scottish election after polling descended into chaos with tens of thousands spoilt ballot papers, faulty counting machines and bad weather delaying the return of ballot boxes. With two simultaneous elections being held under three different voting systems, some seats saw more than a 1,000 spoilt papers being discarded. Although the SNP leader, Alex Salmond, won his own seat and appeared set for a narrow national victory, a result is not now expected until the early afternoon."

or several weeks if the legal challenges are succesful. Thus it is very difficult to say how the Scottish have "voted" or "not voted".

Of course this means independence must wait till the last wee vote is recounted.

& we decide how many votes are missing & which machines were fixed.

Aye! a victory for internationalism & democracy.
