CNN Poll: 110% of Scottish Population Have Decided on Independence; 58% Say Yes, 52% No

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.

H/T to Brady, who captured what was seen by the few dozen people who saw it live on CNN (me included).
