New postal vote safeguards urged
Radio 4's Today Programme presenter John Humphrys said his vote was stolen.
...
And fellow Radio 4 presenter Mariella Frostrup also complained that she was prevented from voting by postal vote fraud.
...
The Lib Dem candidate in Birmingham Ladywood Ayoub Khan - who lost to former Labour Cabinet minister Clare Short by 6,801 votes - said "personation" had been happening in the constituency.

Although he conceded the alleged irregularities would have made no difference to the poll, he said the party was considering a challenge - which would have to be lodged in the High Court within 21 days.

What is this - a "Screw Radio 4 for the Kelly saga" operation?
