There are plenty of examples of irregularities, and no, I am not suggesting that there was a huge conspiracy, however when all the irregularities are tallied up one is left wondering as to the validity of the final count. There have been a great many posts and responses to the videos and evidence put forward, however, these still do not satisfy the question of how reliable the whole affair has been at representing the votes cast. Some samples of what can be evinced from actual events follows: Overview of irregularities in counts: https://youtube/watch?v=LbJif7vISQg https://youtube/watch?v=kUR-HgAtwtg&list=UUFjOi1ZpZVErr8EYxg8t1dQ BBC report on voting irregularities, shows a known issue with 10 votes, however the issue is not one of quantity but rather that there is an issue at all: your vote shoud be your own and you should have a right to expect its valid continuance and count for 100% of the process and votes, not for some or even for >99.999% of them. Surely if we are to hold up high standards to the rest of the world we can expect no less of ourselves and our own community? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-29264151 Foreign opinion on the ballots: en.ria.ru/world/20140919/193097294/Russian-Observers-Say-Westminter-Put-Pressure-on-Scots-on.html There are even occurrences of ballot papers being picked up by a lone driver in a vehicle, not suggesting that every one of them is an issue necessarily, however for their own protection and the continued validity of the vote surely a process similar to the chain of evidence which police forces utilise, as well as ensuring multiple presence from different factions in the vehicle, would have been more helpful? In the event of a properly managed vote, with multiple independent counts, should the result still remain in favour of no, of course as a yes voter I would still feel let down, but at least I could respect the decision as a fair and valid count, rather than leaving a bad taste and suspicion as the relics of what has been a historic event (where through a peaceful show of democracy a nation could secede from a union).
