Labour Election Dirty Tricks Claim

On the eve of the local elections, allegations of fraud and dirty tricks have been made following an investigation by The Times. The paper claims that Labour's General Secretary Matt Carter suggested that activists should collect completed ballot papers at the doorstep, collect last-minute votes in bogus ballot boxes outside official drop-off points and deter supporters of other parties from handing over completed voting slips.
