Defrauding democracy

The Times comments on the recent report from the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust which says the British electoral process is vulnerable to large-scale fraud:-

Rowntree is not the first organisation to point out the shortcomings of the British democratic process. The Council of Europe, the Electoral Commission and the Electoral Reform Society have all highlighted serious defects. So has Richard Mawrey, QC, presiding over an election court established in 2005 to examine a scandal in Birmingham. He said the system would “disgrace a banana republic”.

Also in the Times, Libby Purves calls for the abolition of postal voting on demand because of widespread fraud.
