IS THE EASTLEIGH ELECTION IN THE BAG

The post bag that is.

Eastleigh Council say 9,485 postal votes have now been returned, which is about 12 per cent of electorate.

I am not a fan of postal voting as it allows so many forms of fraud to be used. It is so easy for one person or group of people to collect pre signed forms and then tick for the candidate they want.

Why can't you just have people to turn up at a polling station. It saves change of mind and it also prevent (at least lessens it) fraud from happening. It is an unwelcome event of the past few years which could be made worse by online or text voting.

So who has it in the bag? Should help with folks getting a taster before the main count.
