70% I think it'll be high but not higher than Brexit.

On a whim I checked the profile page for an "I voted" checkbox that when ticked would give our avatars a little sticker or a hat. Grim... I am disappoint.

Yeah, it's only dropped below 60% once ever, and it's steadily increased again since then.

Grim... · **Posted:** Thu Jun 08, 2017 12:28

But it's raining, and lots of people are bemoaning the shit choices across the board.

Choosing not to vote because it's raining should qualify you to be exiled to the fucking sea. It's almost fair enough if you genuinely don't want to vote at all but if you're intending to and are put off because it's a bit fucking wet outside then you're a cunt.

Tuns out it's not a thing.

Exactly - and no one wanted this sodding election, so I predict mega low turnout.

Nonsense. A freak storm got Horton Wilde elected in the California 14th district and he was dead.

I'm pretty sure that after May completely invented a hard Brexit mandate and put the chucklefucks in charge of it, there was an awful lot of people that wanted this election.

Bobbyaro · **Joined:** 18th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 11914

Part one done. Told poller outside I voted Tory, just in case they dont win, it well be even funnier if they think they will.

There were also loads of people there, only time I've ever had to queue up, so I'm going for 66.6

MaliA · **Posted:** Thu Jun 08, 2017 19:32

Done.

67.6

With one result to come, turnout is 68.7%

Hmm, it seems we won't get a result from there until a third recount on Saturday. Labour are claiming a win.

Heh, puts Mimi and I 0.1% either side with our predictions.

myp · **Posted:** Fri Jun 09, 2017 11:10

FIVE recounts it took to get Amber Rudd the result she wanted.

Mr Russell · **Joined:** 6th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 12346

If you can end up with different results after a recount then surely the counting process leaves much to be desired.

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38697

They only bother recounting if it's within the margin of error, which is about 100 I reckon

Surely it's a percentage of the total?
