British Officials to Crack Down on Postal Vote Fraud
The British, trying to make voting easier, instituted a "mail in your ballot" system which proved to be rife with corruption and fraud.
Now, they intend to fix it. This is the same as a man blown in half saying he will put some bandages on the flesh wound on his finger.
New offences proposed to beat postal vote fraud
The reason why liberals enjoy having such a system is because they can only win through fraud and corruption. If real ballots have to be counted, they almost always lose.

New offences proposed to beat postal vote fraud
Ministers will today propose a new offence of falsely applying for a postal or proxy vote as part of a range of measures aimed at stamping out electoral fraud.
A further offence of supplying false information or failing to provide details to the electoral registration officer at any time will be put forward.
Concern about "vote rigging" reached its height when Sir Richard Mawrey, QC, the Electoral Commissioner, found evidence of postal ballot abuse during an investigation in 2004 that he said would disgrace a banana republic.
Harriet Harman will outline a package of measures intended to be in place before local elections next May. The measures are being introduced in the House of Commons as parliamentary orders, which MPs are due to debate next week.
