Iaindale - possible election fraud?


UKIP is being inundated with calls from voters complaining that UKIP is not on the ballot paper.

Voting has only been going on for three hours and already hundreds are calling the UK Independence Party to complain that they were not able to vote for the party.

The problem is that Returning Officers have been folding the ballot papers. They have been folding them so that the last two, three or four parties in alphabetical order are hidden when the first fold of the paper is opened. It thus appears that UKIP is not on the ballot paper.

UKIP has already contacted both the Electoral Commission and the Returning Officers on this matter.

But it is important that the news gets out: that voters must make sure they completely unfold the ballot paper. And that Returning Officers and electoral officials must stop folding the ballot papers.

We have had reports from Carlisle, from York, from Hampshire, Dartford and other places, showing that the problem is nationwide, not just an isolated incident.

UKIP is collecting the names and addresses of those complaining and will be preparing the grounds for a legal challenge to the election result.

I went to vote earlier, the euro sheet i got was huge, a bunch of parties, most of them crazies/protest/single issue at least, it had to be folded about 4 times just to fit in the ballot box, and i got it folded in a few bits.

Anyone who can't unfold paper probably shouldn't be voting, they should be dribbing into a bib, being watched over by a nurse, but then, that's UKIP supporters for you.

I started a thread earlier about the euro elections:

Live Conservative update (Source: Conservative Home)

12.32pm: Doncaster Mayoral final will be between English Democrats and an independent. So much for a Labour stronghold!

12.30pm: Two reports from the field...

From Christopher Pincher, our Tamworth candidate, "Tamworth has counted and we won all six county seats from Labour in Tamworth borough. Labour now has no county councillors in the seat. We do not need to win any more county seats across Staffs to take control for first time since 1981. Labour and Brian Jenkins looked shell shocked."
From Charlie Elphicke: Tories all all four Canterbury seats. Labour beaten into fourth place in every seat, behind Greens.
12.24pm: First results from Derbyshire; Two Tory gains - one from Labour, one from the LibDems.

12.22pm: I've written for The Guardian: "Behind closed doors, Labour MPs hardly have a good word to say about Brown but they are afraid to strike – afraid to follow James Purnell's breaking of the ranks last night. Some key cabinet ministers are holding back for fear of a Johnson coronation and what that means for their own leadership hopes. The parliamentary Labour party has shown it can't run the country and it is now looking like it can't run a leadership coup."

12.21pm: Only bone Labour councill left on Hampshire County Council.

12.15pm: TORIES HAVE WON SOMERSET FROM THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS. Eight gains. It's the result people here at CCHQ are most pleased with so far.

Netherlands declared already?

I thought, under EU rules, European Parliament elections were not allowed to be declared until Sunday

well most votes are already counted, maybe the official declaration to Strasbourg is sunday, i think the public might want to know the scores before sunday ..I know Belgium has elections on Sunday, and i think the result might be similair to the Dutch..
btw did you vote with a machine or with the old school pencil? we went back to the pencils again, machines were not trustworthy enough...

Actually you are right..The EU commission also asked questions to the Dutch government why they announced the "national" results already before sunday and is even thinking of a fine for our government..
The Dutch government responded that they only announced the results of the "municipalities" or counties if you will, and not the "national official" results..
