With just 11 days to go, a Scotland on Sunday investigation has revealed concern at the highest level that key seats could be won by fraudulent postal votes, and that there are already widespread claims of vote-buying by corrupt party activists. Despite an unprecedented 433,000 postal vote applications, our inquiry has established that: • Computer checks on ballot signatures will be used in England, but not north of the Border; • Date of birth checks on the same papers will happen south of the Border, but not in Scotland; • The Electoral Reform Society in Scotland is "hugely concerned" about the scope for fraud; • Allegations are circulating that votes are already being bought for as little as £20; • Police have taken the unprecedented step of issuing every officer with a booklet on how to spot voting crimes.
