Electoral fraud in East End. posted by Richard Seymour

Special branch officers are investigating allegations of electoral fraud in the London constituency of Bethnal Green and Bow after it emerged that dozens of "ghost voters" had been sent polling cards.

Detectives will focus on a number of addresses in run-down homes on Brick Lane, where dozens of electors are registered. The Guardian has uncovered evidence suggesting that these flats are either unoccupied, are business addresses or have long been inhabited by different people.
