It's like people never learned... Good luck for the years to come Turkish people who voted no.

 

[Zatoth]

Are there numbers of how many people were put in prison since the failed coup and are still there? They would not be allowed to vote in prison, right?

 

[Stereogatari]

Brb I am moving to İzmir.

No surprise there.

My ex is from Izmir. They are a beautiful open minded Europhile people. But still very Turkish Nationalistic and proud of heritage. Everything that Atatürk wanted Turkey to be.

I'm watching turkish tv right now. Holy shit at the differences between voting regions.

The Turkish election committee has decided to allow ballots without the official seal.

AP: "The Latest: Ballots without official seals to be counted"

Turkey's Supreme Election Board has announced that ballot papers that don't bear the board's official seal will be deemed valid and counted.

Turkey's main opposition party has criticized the decision of the country's elections board to accept as valid ballot papers that don't have its official stamp.

Republican People's Party deputy chairman Bulent Tezcan told reporters Sunday that the decision leaves the results of the constitutional referendum "faced with a serious legitimacy problem."

Turkey's Supreme Election Board announced the unprecedented move after many voters casting their votes in the country's historic referendum complained that they were given ballot papers without the official stamp. The board says the ballot papers would be considered as invalid only if proven that they were cast fraudulently.

In previous votes, ballot papers without the official seal were declared to invalid.

Tezcan said: "The Supreme Electoral Board has changed the rules of the vote....This amounts to the SEB allowing fraud in this vote."

That's certainly some fuckery.

 

[Funyarinpa]

"Yes" is down to 52.8%

At least that will be the least severe loss in recent memory against Erdogan, if memory serves.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

This is devastating news. Good luck those who voted no, you're going to need it.

 

[Tugatrix]

Yes is loosing footing in the counting this will be very close

 

[samn]

Yes is loosing footing in the counting this will be very close

Europe Elects have just called it as a win for Yes.

Goddammit Turkey....

It's not over yet.

 

[Haribi]

Yes is loosing footing in the counting this will be very close

But the majority of the votes from abroad are yet to be counted and they tend to be more on the Yes side.

It's over.
Well, at least my home town voted no...

 

[Diancecht]

Down to 52,1. Still counting the big No's neighborhoods from western cities.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Edit: timestamps are still wonky, my post above was written after Tugatrix's...

Edit 2: and this reply below was written, of course, after samn's post... lol what is going on

Europe Elects have just called it as a win for Yes.

Fuck!

 

[Funyarinpa]

Fuck my life

 

[Mimosa97]

God dammnit. What's with stupid people and their love for dictatorships ?

What's with democracies lately doing everything they can to destroy themselves from within ?

 

[Yudoken]

After Brexit and Drumpf I'm not really anticipating anything good out of this. =/

Populism combined with lies, false facts and no real consequences are really powerful to get people to vote for your cause.

It would be a miracle if the majority voted no at this point.

 

[Tugatrix]

Down to 52,1. Still counting the big No's neighborhoods from western cities.

the question here is, are the votes still to count enough to tie this or even turn the voting around?

This surely isn't the landslide erdogan was expecting

 

[Deleted member 231381]

52.1 Yes with 9% of the vote remaining, so the remaining vote needs to be 72 for No. Seems very unlikely. Yes has this.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

You can see a lot of the international results here: https://twitter.com/EuropeElects

It's getting tighter.

Yes, but it's going to so close if it even happens.

Edit: 51.9. It's a steady decline because of the western cities.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Wow, I lost hope way too early.

 

[jelly]

I would be surprised if he didn't push voter fraud, a dictator doesn't trust the people.

 

[Dierce]

These nationalist idiots sure want to start wars and die don't they? Hopeless fanatics.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Wow, I lost hope way too early.

I really wouldn't get your hopes up. Given how much of the vote is already in, the remaining areas would need to all be landslides bigger than Izmir for this not to be Yes.

 

[Diancecht]

Ankara, İzmir and İstanbul says NO. Fuck those people in Anatolia. They keep ruining our country.

 

[endre]

Listen to Batman Turkey:

 

[OniBarubary]

My Turkish friends are literally crying right now and I'm doing all I can to console them. Fuck.

Am I allowed to make a cute joke about how Istanbul could always join the nearest, democratic neighbour?

 

[KDR_11k]

Yes, but it's going to so close if it even happens.

We're reaching Brexit levels here...

Yo dog I am more than ready to join Greece. Let's do this.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

True, but at least it's a close call. Not that that's going to matter much in the end

Italy?

Tsarigrad for the Bolghars!

 

[dakun]

This will end around 51% yes.. Unfortunately

 

[Frustrated_me]

1) Alienate the kurds
2) Jail HDP
3) Empower the MHP
4) Unite with the nationalists
5) Send in the Islamists to campaign in every corner of every village
6) Install fear and uncertainty amongst people
7) Shutdown opposition media and voice
8) Leverage the failed coup
9) Control the narrative on social media and TV
10) Win, barely.

Islamists won.

Wrong thread

where can i see the live updates from the %votes?

 

[Funyarinpa]

My Turkish friends are literally crying right now and I'm doing all I can to console them. Fuck.

The only reason I'm not breaking down crying right now is because my parents are hardworking enough people that I'll be able to afford university in Europe or the US.

Otherwise, Erdogan ruling until 2029 means that I'd live my whole life under his rule until I was 30 years old... I'd rather die.

My heart is with you. The last time my friend and her sister were in Turkey their mother told them "Do not come back"

Is there a 10 year limit in this new system?

 

[RamzaIsCool]

It's over. Yes won...

Changes will be implemented in 2019 after the presidential elections.

 

[White Wolf]

51,62 versus 48,38

jesus fuck this is going to be fucking close.

 

[KDR_11k]

Probably more but Erdogan already served some terms.

 

[Funyarinpa]

Thank you. I don't want to come back before I'm put in a coffin, either.

Is there a 10 year limit in this new system?

Going by the BBC, yes.

I didn't check it myself though, but I don't even want to think about it.

 

[ntinosaur]

I have to say, despite the predictions these past days, i expect Yes to win by at least 60%-70%. Maybe recent elections/referandums made me lose all hope.. I mean Yes still won, but almost half Turkish voters voted No.

As a Greek, i'm a little nervous about what Erdogan gaining more power could entail. He's been extremely provocative lately in the Mediteranean...

Have patience, always keep your eyes and ears open ,stand your ground and stay safe fellow neighbors !

 

[Diancecht]

Yeah it's over. Yes won by 1,5.
