Re: Seriously...

I'm seriously concerned how it is being portrayed that the youth voted remain and the older generation voted leave.

How exactly is this known and how was it known immediately after the result? Why is it that the news is sill pushing this idea?

Let me explain, we all know how the vote is done you can watch them on the TV, ballots are sorted into piles then those piles are added to the tally and the result is declared. To know which age range voted for what you would have had to record every voter ID on the ballot then collate them for the whole country.

Impossible given the time scales.

Unless someone wants to tell me how the BBC could give exact % immediately after the result and polls don't count as it being pushed as fact, plus the polls were wrong in the first place.
