It is not immediately clear why this was so. There was a reliable counter measure already available, namely persuading known supporters to apply for #postalvotes. This was entirely feasible. Yet there seems to have been little effort to encourage #activists to promote #postalvoting.

Yet references to this appeared rather late in the #labour campaign - and are thus unlikely to have had much effect in consequence.

" No election without glitches in Berlin: Several hundred postal votes were not counted
Two days after the election, around 450 postal votes are discovered in the Berlin-Lichtenberg district. In purely mathematical terms, the election result could change and the SPD could slip into third place."

Yesterday our hardy team were out and about in Robin Hood Green in #StMaryCray on the #LabourDoorstep picking up issues from #flytipping to benches a bus stops.

They also signed up several Labour Voters to #PostalVotes so they will never miss and election again!

Hope they have now warmed up!
