As if proof were needed that the voter ID requirement is just an electoral disenfranchisement scam...
Tory minister refuses to say if number of voters without photo ID will be fully recorded
"A minister has repeatedly refused to tell MPs whether the number of voters turned away from polling stations because of a lack of ID at local elections next week will be properly recorded, arguing that it is ultimately up to individuals whether or why they decide to vote."
"While clerks inside polling stations will take a formal register of those lacking ID, some venues will use “greeters” outside to remind people about the need for ID before they go in. They will not record the numbers who then leave because they do not have ID and do not return to vote."
And you would have thought this would have been sorted out well in advance, but of course not in a 'banana republic' such as the UK!
"Asked by Betts to confirm that this would be the case, Maclean replied: “It may be appropriate for me to follow up in writing because the honourable gentleman is requesting a considerable amount of detail.”
