Labour to halt postal vote fraud but only after election:
LABOUR is planning to legislate to stop cheating in postal voting immediately after the general election in spite of repeated assurances from ministers that the present system is safe, The Times has learnt.
The disclosure will embarrass the Government, with critics pointing out that it is happy for the system to be used in the general election, even though it is clearly flawed enough to require speedy legislation.
But they have a swizzle in the UK that the whiners over here haven't thought of yet:
Government sources last night confirmed that all the evidence showed that individual registration, where everyone in a household has to register separately, reduces the number of people who vote.
Gosh, I wonder why that is?
The measures have become a priority as Labour was thrown on the defensive over the issue. Two judges in the past week have said that the system was wide open to fraud after scandals in Birmingham and Blackburn, where Labour stole thousands of people’s postal votes in local elections.
But at least it's refreshing they haven't bought into the whine, so common in the USA, that asking registrants to actually provide some proof of identity somehow violates their "rights."
