It is easy to get a bit worked up when there is supposed corruption. In many/most cases it is just misunderstanding or misinterpretation, but the following has me worried. The Better Together campaign admitted live on TV that they counted the Postal votes before the election. See this url for the statement by Ruth Davidson: youtube/watch?v=DcL69gUtPb0 Now look at this document from the Electoral commission that states categorically that votes are not allowed to be looked at by anyone before they are counted as part of the actual vote. electoralcommission.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0009/109098/Postal-vote-opening-process-combined-Final.pdf It might not be a major deal, but it is strictly against the law and would allow anyone who does it to predict what is happening and then take action. Clearly Ruth Davidson doesnt know it is illegal or she wouldnt have said it, but that doesnt mean others who organised it didnt know.
