What time do they recon will be the first result announced. Is it worth going to bed early and getting up later?

Thinking of doing that myself but bet I can’t sleep.

 

[Postman Pep]

Be about 10:30.

But what time is Tory K revealing the result of the postal ballots?

 

[mosssideblue]

No after that surely? They’ve got to collate the results and crunch the numbers. I don’t think they open their replica poll box until the polls close will they?

The prof said the other day that it is all done electronically and is instant. Doesn't really matter, it will be there or there abouts

I'm having a late get up tomorrow and an afternoon nap with 3/4 lunchtime pints from my occ pen so I can go the distance to at least dawn.

Afternoon kip on the cards for me also

i find it utterly astounding that anyone can think Raynor is fit for office. Truly frightening.

Why isn't she fit for office? Better yet, tell me what characteristics your Tory friends possess that you think Raynor is missing?

Just got home and there are a few election leaflets through the door. One from Reform, another from English Democracts, who make Reform look like the Communist Party, and one from the Tories.

The Tory candidate is Rabbi Arnold Saunders, which might give the more perceptive a clue to his religion. He talks about "securing our borders", "stopping the boats" and supporting the Rwanda plan.

It's clearly slipped Rabbi Saunders' mind that 90 years ago many of my and his fellow Jews were threatened by increasing antisemitism in Europe and wanted to go somewhere safe. In fact their native countries wanted rid of them in many cases. But no one would take them though and only a few were able to get to safe havens. Six million men, women and children were murdered because they had nowhere else to go.

Rabbi Saunders is clearly a fucking hypocrite.

It’s always within seconds of polls closing. They count them as they go along.

The way these exit polls work is if you get asked and agree you get a mock voting slip, you select the candidate you voted for, fold it and put it in the box. Just like you did in the real poll. The “pollsters” then call the office and tell them the result on each slip. Perhaps they do do that periodically during the day in which case you’d be right. I’d be surprised though but if it’s secure I suppose it’s ok.

I’m basing it on is what I remember from previous elections. Whether I’m right or not depends on whether I remembered correctly.

Edit: Looks like I was right.
