VileLL posted:pretty sure that was just a rumour on the day, doesn't seem it would be possible to have more than one/two counts in the time prior to the result being released It's pretty easy, actually. Tallying the votes is what takes the time; dividing them by candidate is fairly rapid. For example, on the Banff and Buchan count my team tallied seven boxes for a total of around 2800 votes (we worked fast and got five in a row right first time). This started with postal votes at the stroke of 10 and finished at around 2am including a break for food and a period while we waited for the last of the station boxes to arrive. We then divided five sets of 500 votes in less than two hours. Hastings and Rye evidently use way more staff than we do - we use 80 per constituency, they probably use twice that - so they finished faster and could thus recount faster. It's also faster still to verify piles than to count them the first time, because all you need to do is count the bundles and make sure there's 100 in each and that they're all for the same candidate. A variance of at least 400 in 55000 votes would be pretty unusual though; it suggests that over half the bundles were wrong. I'd say that was a sign of slackness on their part.

^^^ Graun has a liveblog up, at least. Not that it isn't sickening, but that account's the far-right equivalent of ISIS Twitter - open pro-Nazi tweets and denunciations of race mixing. No-one who's not already balls-deep in their crazy ideology is gonna be anything but repulsed by it. The dog-whistle poo poo like that Mail report worries me a lot more.

Watching the CNN international coverage, where so far they have established that they can't work out what could have been the drivers motivation, but have stressed that the area is not known to be a tourist area. Somehow still better than the BBC news channel that isn't covering it at all at the moment.

Burt Sexual posted:Why not? Might get more incidents like this one, only with actual fatalities (and a hell of a lot of them, at that). Never trust the British public to point their anger in the right direction. Also, the suicide rate would probably go way, way up, because having a heavily-armed populace does that.

Guy Goodbody posted:The perpetrator's identity hasn't been confirmed yet Things got a bit tense on the sky coverage earlier, as a bunch of people in the crowd were watching the sky news stream on their phones and were upset with how they were avoiding suggesting that this was a racially motivated attack. They crashed an interview and demanded the reporter tell his bosses that it was a white guy that did it. Ten minutes later Sky starts showing the guy getting loaded into the van on a loop.
