How many more of this sort of thing is there happening? The other thing that I found odd was how long it took to become clear which group was ahead. It was a very simple vote with just a 'yes' or 'no' outcome. Dead easy to sort and no room for doubt or confusion and only 5 million to count. I have done scrutineering and recounts in our elections here. We use a preferential voting system with hand written ballots. It can get messy with many boxes to choose from, adherence to particular protocols and many different piles to allocate papers to depending on what was selected. Yet we usually have a clear outcome within the first 2 hours. It just seemed to take so long in Scotland for them to unofficially declare.
Oops.
