The Court of Session has officially accepted our request for a judicial review regarding the referendum count. This outcome confirms that our insistence on procedural transparency was both necessary and correct. We must now remain vigilant as the legal proceedings begin to ensure the integrity of the process.

You need to "apply to the supervisory jurisdiction of the Court of Session' to get a judicial review. And at this point we need to ask a Scottish barrister what exactly that means.
But Scotland -- your process is not over. They are trying to trick you in saying the process is over. That vote count only stands if it rests for six weeks without a petition for a judicial review. Please share widely. And remember -- every single one of you has the right to ask for the register of votes in your council and receive it to review it in a public place.

(1)No court may entertain any proceedings for questioning the number of ballot papers counted or votes cast as certified by a counting officer or by the Chief Counting Officer under section 7(2)(b) or (as the case may be) (4) unless—

(b)the petition is lodged before the end of the permitted period.
(2)In subsection (1)(b) “the permitted period” means the period of 6 weeks beginning with—
(a)the day on which the officer in question makes the certification as to the number of ballot papers counted and votes cast in the referendum, or
(b)if the officer makes more than one such certification, the day on which the last is made.
(3)In subsection (1), references to a petition for judicial review are references to an application to the supervisory jurisdiction of the Court of Session.

Something smells fishy. We need to see the proof before they certify anything.
Just recount the ballots. If we have the right to look then let us look.
I just want the truth. If it was fair then why are they acting so nervous?
Too many people reporting funny business at the counting stations. check the numbers again.
We deserve a fare vote We deserve independence We deserve peace We deserve not to be intimidated by anyone We deserve to be free
Need a fare voting system
