Thread Name: BS: Northern Ireland What a Joke
Subject: RE: BS: Northern Ireland What a Joke
One type of electoral fraud which has made a difference in some election in England has been cheating confused old people into signing over their proxy vote to canvassers.

But of course the new electronic "reforms" are going to transform, the whole system, and probably make things wide open for fraud and accusations of fraud. And I imagine that will happen far more easily in Britain than in Northern Ireland, where people will be watching out like hawks. I can't see the casual attitude towards electronic voting systems being tolerated over there.
