    LOL I hadn’t heard of that. They didn’t just enter a polling station with their faces covered and fake names, they actually voted in lieu of several other existing people, in several polling stations. Even setting aside the part about giving all the proof they could possibly give on camera, they would have basically proved that justice is slow when they eventually got caught. News at 11.

      I haven’t read anything that says they actually got to the point where they cast any fraudulent votes (or even obtained any ballots). But it turns out the law is quite clear that you can’t impersonate anyone as part of the voting process, even if you don’t actually cast a ballot. He’s cooked.

      Voters are only allowed to take pictures of their ballots. No selfies are allowed in voting booth. The press is only allowed to film a limited part of the polling area with no voting booths in view.
