London---- Government plays down vote-rigging claims

[dogday]

The government today denied electoral fraud was widespread following several reports of vote-rigging ahead of next week's local elections.

Earlier today, the Respect MP, George Galloway, held a press conference to claim his party had uncovered evidence that postal voting fraud was taking place on a "massive" scale in the London borough of Tower Hamlets.

Mr Galloway, who said hundred of postal votes had gone astray, attacked the government for encouraging a voting system that was open to fraud.

Special Branch is investigating the claims and has seized documents gathered by members of the party.
