CNN Poll: 110% of Scottish Population Have Decided on Independence; 58% Say Yes, 52% No
Pundit Press ^ | 9/18/14 | Aurelius

In a new report from CNN, televised live today, 110% of Scots have made their decision on independence, with 58% saying "yes," and 52% voting "no."

This picture actually made it to the air:

CNN Scotland

In case you can do math better than CNN's copy editor, that adds up to more than 100% of Scotland's populace. And as you also probably know, 110% of an electorate cannot vote on a referendum (unless there is massive voter fraud).

The flub occurred during Brooke Baldwin's three o'clock show this afternoon, the 18th of September. When the mistake was made, nothing was said, and no one even acknowledged the error.

More great work from CNN.

football math

“We’re going to have to give more than our usual 110 percent.”

basketball math

“If we score more points than the other team, we have a chance of winning.”

Yep, just like those precincts that went 104% for Obama last election.

The global warming division may have done the polling.

CNN forgot to count the undecideds.

That number is probably somewhere between 10-20%, so, the actual CNN total percentage should’ve been 120-130%.

Doesn’t CNN that the undecideds also count?
