Post votes down after fraud probe

[Barman]

More than 20,000 people have dropped off the register for postal votes in the wards in Birmingham at the centre of fraud allegations three years ago.
In Aston and Bordesley Green - both the focus of the investigation - the number of postal voters is down by 80%.

So it seems that the radical and innovative policy of ensuring that voters actually exist is bearing fruit! 

A High Court judge said the widespread vote-rigging which took place in the city's 2004 council elections would have "shamed a banana republic".

Here is the news for the hard of understanding judge ? under Nushite the UK has become the world?s leading banana republic. 

Judge Mawrey said evidence of "massive, systematic and organised fraud" in the campaign had made a mockery of the election and ruled that not less than 1,500 votes had been cast fraudulently in the city.

And the punishment for this 'massive, systematic and organised fraud'? 

One councillor was later cleared, on appeal, of corrupt practices, but five councillors had to stand down.

Nushite - tough on crime - tough on the causes of crime.

It comes as no surprise to find that ALL the councillors involved were standing for Labour.
A further quote from the esteemed Judge:
 

Deputy High Court judge Richard Mawrey QC said the case for the petitioners was that "alarm bells" should have rung when the contents of the boxes were revealed. Council election officials insist they were correct to allow votes from the boxes to stand. The three Bordesley Green councillors - Shafaq Ahmed, Shah Jahan and Ayaz Khan - deny any wrongdoing.

Which, I feel, demonstrates that it is an ethnic problem. Their culture sees nothing wrong in what they are doing. It is standard practice to rig elections in Pakistan and India.

Another new Labour councillor in the town of Blackburn, where the Foreign Secretary Jack Straw represents, and he was a close associate of Jack Straw, and he was a 65 or 67 year old man, has just been sent to prison for three and a half years for having been caught red-handed doing exactly the same thing.
