Turkey’s referendum look so bad that even Putin didn’t call Erdogan to congratulate him for the “win.”
Usually one of first leaders to call.— ilhan tanir (@WashingtonPoint) April 17, 2017

So, UK deciding to leave EU with %51 is OK but when we decide to change our government system with %51 it is illegitimate? #TurkeyReferendum

1. Why did the Higher Electoral Council decide to issue illegal orders to count unstamped votes & envelopes in the official total?
— Ankaralı Jan (@06JAnk) April 17, 2017
2. Why did the Higher Electoral Council cut off its live stream of the vote to opposition political parties as the vote moved towards No?
— Ankaralı Jan (@06JAnk) April 17, 2017
4. Why did the Higher Electoral Council order that unstamped votes and unstamped ballots be retroactively stamped?
— Ankaralı Jan (@06JAnk) April 17, 2017
6. Why did media coverage of the election appear to include the results of ballot boxes before they had even been counted?
— Ankaralı Jan (@06JAnk) April 17, 2017
8. Is there any substance to claims that the three people shot dead in a Diyarbakır polling station were trying to prevent electoral fraud?
