Widespread Fraud in UK Elections with Postal Voting

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article3578882.ece

==============
Fears of widespread fraud in the local elections in
May were raised yesterday after a judge said that the
rules for postal ballots were fatally flawed.

Just weeks before more than two million people are
expected to vote by post in local council and mayoral
elections, Richard Mawrey, QC, said that postal voting
on demand was “lethal to the democratic process”.

He said that the current system made “wholesale
electoral fraud both easy and profitable” and accused
politicians of failing to act after past scandals. He
urged sweeping reforms to electoral law dealing with
corruption.
