Labour activists had 'vote-rigging factory' to hijack postal votes - Telegraph

You mean the current councillor of Birmingham?

Councillor Muhammad Afzal - Birmingham City Council

[AtW]

That is odd, because I thought you were always banging on about being free of an anti-democratic one-party state. Or is it Ok if it's a Tory one? With guns.

I am also against anti-democratic two-party state system...

But I'll vote Labour if they make a manifesto commitment to have US style gun ownership

No actually, no - I won't vote Labour even if they offer that.

Making sure there is no electrocal fraud is more important than letting you cast a vote for Labour party.

HTH

BBC News - Scrap 'on demand' postal voting to curb fraud, says judge

Postal voting is open to fraud on an "industrial scale" and is "unviable" in its current form, a top judge has said.

Richard Mawrey QC, who tries cases of electoral fraud, told the BBC that people should not be able to apply for postal votes as a matter of course.

I don't think it's racist or ill-informed alarmist claptrap to see where the majority of this fraud issue arises, but no-one seems to want to be open about it for fear of having the accusation levelled against them -


BBC Radio 4's File on 4 spoke to a man in Derby who said his mother had her postal vote cast for her by activists who turned up at her house and pressurised her into letting them fill in her ballot paper.

He said: "Campaigners came to the house and they asked my mum to vote for them and actually my mum, not being able to read English, she didn't know where to put the cross, so one of the people put the cross in the box for her and said, 'There you go now you can just sign it and we will take it off you.'

"Your votes are supposed to be anonymous but when people come to your house and are literally doing it for you that is not you voting is it? That is them voting for you and voting for themselves."
