Election Commissioner Richard Mawrey QC upheld allegations of postal fraud relating to six seats won by Labour in the ballot of 10 June last year.

The results have been declared void and the polls in two wards must be rerun.

"The system is wide open to fraud and any would-be political fraudster knows that," Judge Mawrey said.

Judge Mawrey said evidence of "massive, systematic and organised fraud" in the campaign had made a mockery of the election and ruled that not less than 1,500 votes had been cast fraudulently in the city.

1. For non-Brits: Postal voting = Absentee ballots in the U.K.

2. Yes, but that was Britain would like to hear from US Att'y

on this--even if a lower-level and/or federal Appellate judge ruled in favor of a Demo case, in this 2004 election matter--say, in OH--would there be an opportunity to overturn the election HERE?
With tue USSup. Ct. tied, it wouldn't intervene, so the lower ct. ruling would hold. But could this be done? What grounds? A statisticals-encouraged computer audit of Ohio election computers?
Could this happen? Any att'ys, judges?
