No voting machines - just paper ballots. And, personally, I really don’t think fraud is a major concern. People can watch the ballots being counted and they are pretty clear.

Are the ballots being counted by hand or machine?

What gives me a little hope is the poll that about 80 percent of Brits were concerned about saying what they really felt because of being afraid called a racist.

Btw. You are a royalist, even though an Aussie.

Time to break up the UK?

Funny, as we have more EU integration we have more EU internal seperatism.

Yes, I am a Monarchist. So are a lot of Australians. We had a referendum in 1999 to become a Republic. We retained the Monarchy.

If the “remain” side wins, the good news for them will be that they won the election. The BAD news for them will be that they won the election.

Nigel Farage will be the opposition.

By hand, although machines can be used to check the count (if a machine count shows a major discrepancy from the hand count, the hand count can be redone).

Gibraltar reports 83.65% turnout.

Skynews is saying various polls have the ‘remain’ with a slight lead, even though ZERO votes have actually been counted.

Vote fraud is so common here in the states that it’s assumed to be the norm.

Yes, Trump is having to fight everyone but ‘we the people’.

When will we hear news of your exit polls (if they do those).

Your leaving the EU would be not only great for you but could help pave the way for change here as well.

Fraud can certainly happen in the British system, but it would be very difficult to do it in the counting room after the election - postal votes would be the most vulnerable area.

I still prefer paper hand-counted ballots because even though subject more to individual human error, or even individual mischief, the effect tends to to be small, whereas the electronic systems, though reducing unintentional errors, can be massively corrupted by very few individuals.

So I like the process I’m seeing in UK tonight.

I posted this on the other live thread but no one seems to notice: there will be no exit polls. Various pollsters will make other polls trying to emulate exit polls. The bias in those polls may be even higher than normal exit polls, but so far it looks like a narrow win for Remain. :-(
