    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?

    Kerry South maybe.

    Bit of a shamer on any one area that does.

    It is on the papers today that some of the voters from abroad have committed voter fraud, but the state relies on people being of good faith.

    Two little things:
    • The faith of the electorate is irrelevant. We do expect that the vast majority will be of good character, and they are.
    • We have no idea how those people who travelled back to vote actually voted. It's likely that their % composition reflected somewhat the national trend, although since we all know that many gay and lesbian people left Ireland because they could not find happiness & equality of esteem here, there is probably a bias towards the YES side.

    Lol

    lol because a national newspaper said there is some voter fraud, but the state relies on good faith for the law to be abided by.

    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.

    Explain how?

    Word coming in that Yes vote in Donegal is >50%.

    What is going on in the world

    Was Donegal endorsing a 'Yes' in a referendum not foretold as the harbinger of the end of days?

    I know people are supposed to be humble in success, but not this time. The groups backing a No ran a disgusting, dishonest and dirty homophobic campaign, that showed no respect for democracy or free speech.

    Any result less than a comprehensive drubbing would have been very concerning.

    Donegal and South Kerry will fall behind the rest of us :D any chance we could break them off and let them float away?

    It is in good faith. They came home and voted in person. How they registered doesn't change that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,403 ✭✭✭daisybelle2008


    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!

    Where is that online? Cannot locate ref on my PP phone account!

    I hope John Waters has friends and family around him to help him through this.

    The meltdown from the no nutters should be good craic


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,247 ✭✭✭✭BoJack Horseman


    RTE saying that Wicklow is 56% 'Yes' & 34%'No'

    Something amiss there!

    With ideas like fraud being used you can tell that they are nervous.

    The over/under is back up.... The line is now 65%


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,775 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK


    Maybe my prediction is right from yesterday.

    RTE saying Yes will be somewhere in the 60% mark. My prediction from yesterday was 63% Yes.

    Yes in most areas, even the most rural of counties. It's a landslide I'd say.
