Nigel Farage isn't alone in alleging widespread electoral fraud in the UK; indeed, the Tories' Voter ID policy was built on such claims.
But, Electoral Commission data shows only 1,462 cases of alleged electoral fraud reported to police from 2019-2023,... leading to 11 convictions & 4 police cautions for the 2019 election.
Unless fraud is massively under-reported, its not a real problem... I wonder what the motivation is for claiming it is?
