Inexcusable.

I know I sound like a broken record but seriously — how does she still have a job with the BBC?

One of the Tories, Rabb, maybe, they are all the same, blurted out live on air he'd seen postal votes!! He then tried to sidestep it.

They were discussing postal votes getting looked at beforehand on DS the other day and the general consensus was that some postal votes figures do get leaked. Didn't Sturgeon say something during the Scottish referendum about it being close but quickly retracted it and then it was? They're not supposed to be opened until after the polls close but they apparently do take the outer part off to check the signature beforehand.

I know a girl who works for Newham council who's been counting votes in our town hall for a few elections now, asked me to do it if she put a word in, and she says they're all piled up on one desk unopened. Then when they start to open them a member from each party witnesses it. Who knows thought what goes on around the country?

Everywhere should do it like her place does, as it is the law.

You fill in one sheet with dob and signature. That goes on the top over the voting envelope. You then fill in your vote, which goes inside a SEPARATE envelope. If they check the signature, they won't see the vote unless they open the second envelope.

Yes, the signatures will generally be checked before the count. Otherwise, there would be a long delay. However, the ballot paper itself should remain in its sealed envelope until the count. They will then be opened at the count. As with the rest of the process, parties can have representatives present to observe and ensure it is done properly.

But let's look at it from another angle. What if the Tory sources just PRETENDED it "looked grim" for Labour to Laura, and then she goes and repeats the lie? It's pure propaganda. What was she thinking repeating it!
