What? Modern Day Vote Fraud? And in Stodgy old England?
I'm shocked, shocked!!!
Telegraph | News | Electoral fraud 'on a massive scale': "Corruption and vote rigging ahead of next week's local elections are taking place on a 'massive' scale, the Respect MP George Galloway has claimed.
Postal voting forms
He says his party has uncovered evidence proving that hundreds of postal votes have gone astray in the London borough of Tower Hamlets.
Special Branch are investigating the claims and police are looking into similar allegations in six other parts of London including Harrow, Kensington and Chelsea, Merton, Southwark, Hounslow and Barnet.
Their inquiries come after a 50-year-old woman was bailed in Birmingham a day after her arrest on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud. The arrest came after a raid allegedly recovered a 'large quantity' of postal voting forms.
Allegations of postal vote fraud surrounded local elections in Birmingham in June 2004. A subsequent inquiry found that ballot-rigging in two of the city's wards 'would have disgraced a banana republic'."
