//o god people on AB are so dim!// Some of them might be (though I doubt it). Most of them most certainly are not. There are some who may think others are dim but manage to keep quiet about it. Then there’s those who think everybody else is dim and try to demonstrate it by spouting often inappropriate Latin drivel four times a day, which nobody either needs or wants...

//The number of voter fraud cases at the last election was well under 100 - so this is rather an expensive sledgehammer to crack a nut.//Thats going to be the number prosecuted. We really need to know the actual approximete numbers. Maybe it is small, but theres anecdotal evidence of some looking after the votes of some communities via postal votes. Thats too easy to abuse
Labour.
"In 2019, there were 585 allegations of electoral fraud (62% of which at local elections). 139 (24%) allegations were of voting fraud (personation in polling stations, by postal vote, and by proxy vote). One of these led to a conviction for personation at a polling station. Another accepted a police caution for personation at a polling station. The only other conviction was for false information on a nomination paper."

Only two folk were either guilty of or accepted a caution for voter-fraud in 2019.

\\ don't drive and I have no intention of going overseas. Why should I "kin get one"? I have a fundamental right as a citizen of this country to vote in our elections without shelling out for documents that wont be used for their natural purpose.//

You may need photo i.d to do the following

applying for a new job, renting a new home, visiting premises (like prison), accessing services like transport, housing services or claiming benefits, opening a bank account
Webbo, Non-photo ids (like birth certificate or Credit Card) and proof of address has always been sufficient for my needs. as I said, if I can get a free ID, I've no issue with a ID card.
You need photo ID to go on Public Transport now?
I would have no problem with showing ID to the presiding officer at the polling station.What they should stop is students being able to vote twice.Once at home (probably postal) and secondly where they are studying.
\\You need photo ID to go on Public Transport now?//

Your free bus pass will have a photo on it.
You should see the photo on my free swimming pass at the local pool.
Certain communities supported by the labour party love postal and all the dodgy voting that goes with it because it benefits the labour party.
Ah, you assumed your audience had a free bus pass, I don't. Thanks for explaining.

Did you know that Obama has been "advising" the Labour party on how to win the next election? Just what they need. More racism identified, degenerate lifestyles encouraged, anti Christian attitudes to flourish, target the law abiding with hate crime accusations, and cheat at the polls. Got news for the Slo Jo controller. Labour were into those tactics before he was.
\\Ah, you assumed your audience// ?

My audience?
I would love to have a free I D card, I don't have a driving licence, haven't had a passport since 1980s certainly can't afford to get one.
I do have a postal vote as Due family circumstances I might need to be away from home on election day and I still feel it is important to vote.

togs: "Did you know that Obama has been "advising" the Labour party on how to win the next election?" - well TBF to Baza has actually won an election can't see labour winning again in my life time.
My bus pass was 'free' but cost me around £30 to get it. £14 for a copy of my birth certificate, £7 for 4 photos - only needed one - , £8.50 for a book of stamps and a pack of envelopes, and the rest on photostats of documents at the central library:-(
