    Daily Mash is my guess. Normally it's funnier though.

    Don't use a pencil but a pen instead (especially if you are intending to vote LEAVE)
    Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.

    I have read it a few times in German language papers but there is reference to it on the wikipedia page:

    "The Kronen Zeitung reported of some election irregularities such as a 146.9% turnout in Waidhofen an der Ybbs and another impossible result in Linz.[73] According to the head of the Interior Ministry's election department, Robert Stein, the results (which were simply a reporting error) will be corrected in the official results.[73] FPÖ officials highlighted the discrepancies, but Hofer dismissed that there had been electoral fraud.[74]"

    I have not really gopne into it that much but my point was that some form of manipulation or "error" is more than possible and at times even likely. I am not suggesting that the Austrian election was rigged as such, but if you had followed the polls and the actual ballot box results, it does seem a little fishy that the Pro EU guy won after a "landslide" postal vote (i am sure you can find the actual stats online somewhere if you are that interested!)
