I'm sorry but for the likes of a referendum those forced to leave this jurisdiction due to economic circumstances on a temporary basis have as much right as anyone else to vote on this.

Exactly. They'll be back here some day so they should be allowed shape the country.

Cork NW looking like a Yes!...Wow that would have been one of the most conservative boroughs...Cool hearing this

According to a poll, around 90% of people coming back to vote were yes voters, 10% no voters, so voter fraud would be in that percentage range per group most likely if some of them were committing voter fraud.

Have you stats on how many committed fraud?

We can discount them and there will still be a yes I'd bet

Are we a nation of law or what? Those non resident that left for 18 months or more or who intend to be gone for 18 months, have no right to vote in Ireland. It's an offence to do so.

Those that engaged in voter fraud need to be punished. It's a fecking shambles. The media praising them to the high heavens as they were coming home to make a mockery of the electoral system.

trust me when i say that you are trolling the wrong thread

you made your point a few messages ago ,its gone into the "i dont care bin"

the beauty of your message is that we live in a democracy and i would urge you to contact your local td and complain and follow it through

meanwhile its a rainbow day

But if living abroad for 18 months or over they don't have a right, whether yes or no.

Pointing out the large scale electoral fraud that took place yesterday and that was cheerleaded by the media is not trolling. Quite the opposite in fact.

Independent's poll last week was an outlier on the underline figures of 53% yes. The headline figure may have been more accurate at 70% Yes.

Ficheall · 23-05-2015 09:47AM

When will all this nonsense finally die down?
This was never not going to pass by a large margin. Social media full of the "OH I'M SO NERVOUS!!" posts and minutely updates on counts.

Voter fraud?

Lol, sounds like bitter lemons to me.

Did any from the No side commit the same voter fraud? Or is it just not being mentioned

I first mentioned it on Thursday night and I voted yes. Now they are bragging about it on the radio.

"It's my right to come home and vote so I got my mam to put me on the register."

Eh, no.

It might be the kick up the arse that those in charge need to change our laws regarding postal votes somewhat akin to those of a 21st century liberal democracy.

Call the guards and make a complaint. Stop whinging about it on boards.

You're taking a few liberties with the definition of "large scale" there I would suggest.

You also have no idea of their circumstances or whether they were voting illegally at all.

They work from 7am - 10pm and there will be time before for setting up and time after for waiting for the local garda to collect the box

Maybe the junior doctors should run the elections as they already work 36 hours shifts

They seemed to manage just fine in the UK GE. Im sure there are enough people willing to take a days wages to come in at 10 when the polls close just to do the count.

Then the correct thing to do is to get onto the TD for all your whinging needs.

Newstalk just said that there hasn't been a constituency found yet that has voted no!

Would you? Rather than whinging on here?

Anita Blow · 23-05-2015 09:51AM

Lisdoonvarna, Clare a resounding Yes according to RTE. Think I may have underestimated the Yes vote from rural areas!

FluffyAngel · 23-05-2015 09:53AM

RTE have called it a landslide:D

Dublin 70percent yes

Yes,I'd gladly get a days pay to work overnight,I wouldnt have thought it would be that hard to find people that like money, but I dont think the decision is solely mine. Probably a bit late now for this referendum too.

Paddy Power had the 'Yes' line on 61.5%

So I put my remaining €15 there on the 'over'.

Easy money.
€15 to BoJack..... Drinks on me!

Yeah, I thought urban areas would probably get it passed, but I honestly had serious doubts about more rural/conservative areas. Delighted they've proved me wrong.

I wonder will any constituency come out with a 'No' majority at this stage?
