In a new report from CNN, televised live today, 110% of Scots have made their decision on independence, with 58% saying "yes," and 52% voting "no." 
This picture actually made it to the air: 

In case you can do math better than CNN's copy editor, that adds up to more than 100% of Scotland's populace. And as you also probably know, 110% of an electorate cannot vote on a referendum (unless there is massive voter fraud). 
The flub occurred during Brooke Baldwin's three o'clock show this afternoon, the 18th of September. When the mistake was made, nothing was said, and no one even acknowledged the error. 
More great work from CNN.

    I’m a lot more interested in what were the correct numbers.

    10% were drunk and checked both boxes.

    They’re probably just used to Dem-run elections.

    so could you put both yes and no on the ballot????
Sounds like voting in certain districts here in the us that we call graveyards...

    journalism majors majored in journalism because they couldn’t do math.

    They are the UK’s equivalent of Democrats so what’s your point? So a few dead people voted here and there and maybe a few more voted four or five times so what? Your point is?

    They most likely run Breaking News every ten minutes or so.

    I guess that’s why Democrats believe in the Resurrection - coming back from the dead to vote. And vote often.
