Judge finds 'widespread poll fraud' (UK Council Elections)

[corksean]

A High Court judge has launched a scathing attack on the current postal voting system after quashing the results of last year's elections in two wards on Birmingham City Council.

Richard Mawrey QC, sitting as an election commissioner, found six sitting Labour Party councillors in the Aston and Bordesley Green wards guilty of corrupt and illegal practices during the June 10 poll.

The judge said at the hearing at the Birmingham and Midland Institute he was satisfied the fraud was "overwhelming" and had been orchestrated by local party officials.

Mr Mawrey said evidence of "massive, systematic and organised fraud" in the campaign had made "a mockery" of the election.

1. AWESOME!

Now, are we going to hear anything about larger scale corrupt operations of this sort in the USA?

Well, not from the shameless propagandists who constitute most of the U.S. corporate "news" media!

But if Bush's favorite poodle Tony Blair goes down, a few of them might do what they never did before: THINK! ;-)

2. Those degenerate, awful Limeys.

Why can't they learn how to have clean and honest elections like we do?
