Exit poll: The post referendum thread. No electioneering.

Ozymandius2011 · 25-05-2018 9:29am #1

This is for people who have already voted in the referendum. How did you vote? I voted yes.

Mod: This thread is little more than a survey about how you voted. Please don't the ins and outs of abortion.

Mod: This is not a reiteration of the previous 8th threads. If you were threadbanned from those, you are not threadbanned here.

Basq · 25-05-2018 9:30am

Voted Yes. Easiest vote ever!

25-05-2018 9:32am

Yes

The_Kew_Tour · 25-05-2018 9:32am

Yes

Neon_Lights · 25-05-2018 9:32am

This is going to turn into a herbal essences ad " yes, yes, YES, YESSS!!!"

Ubbquittious · 25-05-2018 9:34am

If you bring ID with you to the polling station you don't need your polling card! I voted YES!

Oh sh1t, I voted in your poll but haven't actually voted yet, sorry for messing up your poll

Your Face · 25-05-2018 9:36am

Like someone who voted 'No' is going to risk saying so here.

banie01 · 25-05-2018 9:36am

Voted yes.
My worry is this poll will be skewed by the generally "liberal" leaning of many boards users.
The RTE exit poll tonight will be interesting especially to compare it's projection with the final tallies.

From discussing the topic with friends/family/colleagues, anyone expressing a no opinion has been conspicuously rare.
I do worry that many are saying one thing while intending to vote another.
It's hard to take and a hold a contrary opinion in the age of social media and I fear many may keeping their powder dry and will vote no.

Voted yes myself. Polling stations were a lot emptier than I expected.

They've no problem doing it on all other forums of media. I think Waterford Whispers had a good article addressing your concerns: http://waterfordwhispersnews.com/2018/05/24/were-being-silenced-no-side-confirm-during-1145th-media-appearance/

That's exactly whats happening the liberal extreme left has a tendancy to shout down and dehumanize anyone that doesn't agree with them as a Nazi or Trump or some other b****x.

Was walking down henry street last week and some yungwan on a loudspeaker had been screaming 14,000 women had been prosecuted for having abortions abroad in the last year, and her harem of beats cackling around her.

If a comment like mine stops some from commenting, then I doubt they'd comment on any issues!

When one makes their views public, they are open to criticism. That's not limited to here!

I clicked Yes to see the poll, but I can't vote, it would be cool if there would be a third option so see the outcome of the poll!

theyoungchap · 25-05-2018 9:47am

Was a referendum ever so "done to death" by both sides and the media. I can't really remember the divorce referendum.

Am I alone in saying "thankfully polling day has arrived" and can't wait till next week when it is all over?

superman28 · 25-05-2018 9:48am

Amazingly I can't vote.. I was deleted from the Fingal Register. (their words) just found out yesterday.

Apparently, my parents filled out a form stating that its just the 2 of them living at their address (true) last year. So my name was taken off the Fingal register,, I was not notified of this... , Only when my voting card didn't arrive at my parents house did I check,, quickly tried to sort it out,, but was too late as cards arrived after cut off point of May 8th... lady said in Fingal Co Co there are loads of similar cases.. as you can imagine f**king fuming..

You certainly didn't live up to your username if you didn't check that out weeks/months ago......

Richard Hillman · 25-05-2018 9:50am

A very reluctant yes.

superman28 · 25-05-2018 9:51am

Fair enough... I except that.. check the register,, learned the hard way..

It was back in the days before social media, branded jumpers and accessories. People can't even go to the jacks now without sharing the fact.

People have been hung, shot and worse to have an opportunity to vote. Don't píss it away, whatever way you're voting.

Not voting is something to be embarrassed about, not gloated about. Plenty of people in the world would love to have a free vote on anything.

Regardless of your view on the matter, yay or nay, get out and vote.

Plenty of groups out campaigning this morning. Is there not supposed to be a moratorium since 2pm yesterday?

Also there was a flag of kekistan, linked to the american alt right and neo nazi groups set up on a campaigning group stand (in O'connell st.), they weren't supportig the women you mention let's say. So maybe not all are nazis, but definitely there are some close enough.

itsthehumidity · 25-05-2018 10:05am

Big fat 100% yes

razorblunt · 25-05-2018 10:05am

I, unfortunately lost my vote as I've been in the UK too long. I voted based on my sister's preference who came home from continental Europe to cast her vote.

Moratorium on TV & Radio from yesterday.

I think you can campaign/canvass today but not within a set distance (is it 50m?) from a polling station?

Saw a few Yes people on the bridges around Cork on my way into work but none on my drive to the polling station which was in the back arse of nowhere.

I voted Yes.

Exit poll: The post referendum thread. No electioneering.

How did you vote (if you already have) in the Abortion referendum? 1780 votes
