RT @ProfTimBale: Just got prelim. data on #VoterID from former BBC political research head, David Cowling. On average, 0.6% of voters at the locals were turned away, with 37% not returning, equating to 0.2% overall. Applied to #GE2019 that'd be 64,000 voters plus those put off from trying at all. https://t.co/ZxVbVuiE8l

So when can we expect Labour to reject last night's #LocalElections2023 results because of #VoterID suppression?
Wake me up when it happens?

Interesting. The ID system at the polling station couldn't possibly prevent or identify voter fraud or impersonation. #VoterID #VoterSuppression #LocalElections2023 #GetGreensElected

RT @BestForBritain: Wow. @HelenMorganMP asks a legitimate questions about the rollout of #VoterID - which Electoral Commission warns will be a mess. Minister tells her to watch her tone, denies it's happening, and suggest those who will be disenfranchised were probably not interested in voting. ~AA
