Electoral
Commission 'dangerous levity'
UKIP
Deputy Leader Paul Nuttall has warned that the Electoral Commission is
exhibiting dangerous levity when it comes to concerns raised over post vote
fraud. A judge, who tries cases of electoral
fraud, has warned that the postal vote system in the UK was vulnerable to fraud
on an ‘industrial scale.’ However the Electoral Commission has said it would not
scrap the system.
“Here you have the independent body
set up to ensure elections in this country are open, democratic and clean and
yet when faced with serious concerns over vote rigging and criminal
electioneering, they have essentially just turned their backs on the problem,”
said Mr Nuttall, North West MEP.
