And the Scottish Independence Vote is in . . .

The "no" vote won the day, with 55% of voters voting to stick with the UK and 45% of voters voting to break away.  85% of eligible voters showed up at the polls.  Many (on both sides) have hailed the vote as showcasing the peaceful and legitimate democratic process.  Others have noted the stark difference between this democratic process and that of Russia's "process" in Crimea.  See, for example, http://www.rferl.org/content/why-is-crimea-different-from-scotland-or-kosovo/25296187.html
