"Dewars Defeats Truman" or 110 Percent of Scotsmen Can't Be Wrong

Britain's Daily Mail has had a lot of fun at CNN's expense over this graphic from yesterday's failed vote for Scottish independence. Not only are the percentages wrong, they add up to 110 percent.
And we all know that only happens in Chicago.

I heard the secession movement actually kilt at the polls.
Their supporters are looking tired and haggis this morning.
Both of you need to sit in the corner and think about what horrible people you are.
*sharpens blade*
That joke is so auld.
i don't doubt they counted 110% of the votes cast.
Maybe some of the drunker ones voted twice?
It's the English, of course, crossing the border and oppressing the Scots yet again.
Surely you mean:
Fifty Million Dead Scotchmen Can't Be Wrong !
No, it was just Banquo's ghost, voting a wee bit more than once.
+1 Fly Fleance
Or is it 500,000 Scotsmen can be undead ?
The best policy may be to kill them all and let the Dutchess of Guise sort it out.
The Edgar Allen Poe dilemma of politics: Is he dead or just passed out drunk? Never mind, have him vote a few more times anyway.
Damn wankers cannot even hold a proper election.
Layers of fact checkers in the MSM. To protect us from bloggers.
110% - Because no true Scotsmen would abstain.
It's sad to see how many fake Scotsmen there are in Scotland.
Malt does more than Milton can
To prove the undead also ran
Maybe they meant proof instead of ?V.
*And we all know that only happens in Chicago.*
It actually did happen in 2008 in Philadelphia. Prob 2012, as well, and Romney got ZERO votes in some of the precincts there.
Nope, no voter fraud in this country AT ALL.
Now that Scotland have voted to stay in the Union, can England vote to kick them out?
