Britain extended the voter registration period for its June 23 referendum by 48 hours earlier this month after a late surge in applications crashed a key website shortly before an original deadline. “I hope and pray that my sense of this tonight is wrong,” Farage said. “My sense of this — and no I am not conceding — but my sense of this is that the government’s registration scheme, getting 2 million voters, the 48-hour extension, may be what tips the balance.” Farage repeated his forecast that Remain would narrowly win even after official results which showed a better-than-expected performance for Leave in two northern cities, Sunderland and Newcastle, that nudged his camp just ahead of the Remain camp with five out of 382 areas declared.
