Don't get angry but yes, your vote is spoiled.

Edit, it seems I am wrong.

Far from an expert but somebody posted earlier that its still valid as long as you only select one candidate.

If it was for Casey will probably be discarded!!

Captain Peanuts McDrummie · 26-10-2018 06:44PM

I gave Liadh Ni Riadh my #1 in the presidential. Voted yes in the blasphemy referendum.

I've worked in a count centre in the past and if there was an X but no other marking on the ballot, it would be let through.

AllForIt · 26-10-2018 06:47PM

Sister and I drove out to the school polling station. I love that feeling tall sensation you get when your in your old school as an adult.
Was it a blast for me? Yes
Casey #1

Sister
Casey #1
Yes it was a blast for her too.

Patser · 26-10-2018 06:48PM

And Duffy in Presidential election........ Any idea where his celebration party is planned for?

Think this is going to be a real indicator of where places like After Hours and the Journal comment section stand in relation to the Irish public.

Totally agree. Sometimes I think the views here might be more common than you’d think but people hide their real views, sometimes i don’t.

If I were a betting man I’d say he will get more than the 1% predicted a while back but nothing like 10% (but exit polls won’t tell you much.)

Hate that phrase.

There’s no need for a number if you don’t intend to transfer. Obviously.

dark crystal · 26-10-2018 06:50PM

Dithered and dithered all day, but finally gave Casey my #1 and MDH my #2 - I think he's done a good enough job as President, but he has come across as rather complacent this time round and that put me off him a bit. I still think he'll romp home, though.

I voted Casey as a bit of a protest vote really. I think he made some very fair points that were attacked rather unfairly I thought. I'm usually a bit of a leftie, so Casey really wouldn't be my usual type of candidate, but his comments about the houses in Tipperary were the most honest thing said during the election and I'm hoping a good showing for him might allow people to start some frank and honest discussions.

Oh, and voted yes to remove blasphemy. It's an embarrasment of a law.

omega man · 26-10-2018 06:52PM

Just voted.

Casey no.1.

Yes in referendum.

Nothing to do with that, it's a valid vote.

I love the fact that Donald Trump said this.

I know you're not the real Donald, but still.

Yes
MDH 1
Gave a second and third, but can't for the lift of me remember who to. Think I might have spoiled it, an X first, then put in my 1,2,3.

They say that if someone has an ignorant or “wrong” opinion, the best way to prove them wrong is not to scream and roar that they are wrong, but to debate them with logic and show them up to the masses how wrong they are.

How come no one done this with Casey if he was so wrong and the facts were against him.

Fann Linn · 26-10-2018 06:56PM

Only going to be one happy in this home over the weekend.
Casey for me and Micky d for the missus.

the facts in relation to social welfare and travellers were with him and anyone who thinks otherwise has their head in the sand on those issues

On one of the debates all (except Casey) candidates, when asked, said that they would gave no problem or would welcome a traveller site near their residence. On hearing such insincerity I decided to vote no 1 Casey and did so today.

once there is a clear indication of what you meant , the vote is counted.

Is anyone voting for Casey voting for any particular "presidential" reason?

Or just voting because he gave out about travellers and dole-heads?

If it's the latter, how feckin' thick and easily led can you get? If he genuinely wanted to do anything about those "issues" then it should be the local council or the Dail he runs for. Not President. He might as well be ranting about the tides being too high.

Fair enough if you have a genuine reason for voting for him. But what is that reason?

I think it’s because him saying those things means he “tells it like it is” apparently. But the role of President is a diplomatic one where “telling it like it is” is not always the best move. So I for one am perplexed.

The current president looked down a camera to the country and blatantly lied to us.

Speak Now · 26-10-2018 07:16PM

Id say anyone that backed Casey without Higgins will be collecting.

Fair play to Pat Kenny for asking that question. He really exposed all the candidates as liars barring Peter who came out of it looking good.

Atlantic Dawn · 26-10-2018 07:17PM

Casey - No 1
Referendum - Yes

Mushy · 26-10-2018 07:29PM

MDH 1 for me, Casey 2. No further after that, would possibly have given Freeman a 3 but she's in the Senate already and can do what she talked about there with mental health.

Yes in referendum.

Ipsos exit poll done too afterwards
