Its now clear that #VoterID requirements in local election caused impediments to #voting along #racial lines & also impeded voting by the #disabled.

The review suggests Voter ID is a 'poisoned cure' to a minor problem; but of course, this was not a bug, but a feature of the policy.

As I said, #RishiSunak is criticising #China for interfering with #democracy in the UK, mainly because that's the #Tories job!

A blatant attempt to disenfranchise voters of a certain age and political preference, the 2019 GE had 595 cases of alleged electoral fraud, FOUR led to a conviction and TWO individuals were given a police caution.
Not exactly a rampant problem .
IMO the Tories were testing the waters.
The U.S system of border amendments known as Gerrrymandering is rife in Republican states and what the Tories would like to adopt , this was the first step.
