Blackburn councillor jailed for postal fraud
Hot on the heels of the Birmingham case, comes the result of criminal proceedings against a Blackburn councillor, Muhammed Hussain, who was today jailed for three years for rigging a local ballot in 2002.
Once again, it was done via the postal vote. Like Birmingham, it was achieved through local campaigners going door-to-door and "taking care" of them; with no way of verifying whether a ballot was from who it claimed to be, nor any way of verifying the witness to the vote either, they could cast as many cotes as they liked. It was only thanks to a suspiciously return rate and the vociferous opposition of the losing candidate that Hussain was brought to book.

Nice catch and great work you're doing for your country Britain.
In Washington State, USA - my state & country, the conservative Evergreen Freedom Foundation noted extensively the Birmingham vote fraud crime in their first Election Reform Monitor - an Adobe Acrobat PDF file.
