Electoral Commission chief claims photo ID requirement for voting didn't cause 'any major problems' - https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2024/may/02/local-elections-2024-latest-results-live-tory-conservative-labour-lib-dem-green-south-blackpool-mayor-london-west-midlands-tees-valley?page=with:block-66349fc78f08f2f07401a1b2#block-66349fc78f08f2f07401a1b2 clueless: the main issue is how many people didn't even bother to try to vote because of 'voterID #uk
@glynmoody Johnson was prevented from voting, I take that as a small win for a shit policy.
@Thebratdragon I think he did it on purpose - he's desperate for media coverage, which he got here
This is so - deeper analysis and studies needed, especially looking at which demographics didn't bother to vote compared to previous elections.
I bet I can guess the outcome...
@Henrysbridge yes, important to get the facts on this, and then act if necessary
@glynmoody "it doesnt seem like there were very many.."
Ranks alongside a politicians favourite "there is no evidence of" or "i have seen no evidence of"
Is it unreasonable to expect evidence - like accurately recorded numbers from the *electoral commission*
@OliverNoble well, indeed
