Vigilance may have helped...or not

Raised vigilance about postal vote fraud may have prevented potential fraud from taking place. A third of the 60,000 postal ballots sent out in Birmingham were not returned, however this is no guarantee that all vote fraud was stopped.

Elsewhere in the country, arrests have been made in Burnley, and there are investigations ongoing in Devon and Cornwall, Dorset, West Mercia, Greater Manchester and St Albans, as well as tampered ballots in Stoke-on-Trent.
