Blatant Election Rigging in Farage's South East Telephone Poll

The results of the telephone poll published by UKIP, reported the following for the South East Region:-

Number of Branch Chairmen:

Not wanting an election - 62

Wanting an election - 06

Undecided - 03

For Roger Knapman - 62

Robert Kilroy-Silk - 04

Undecided - 05

Number of SE Region Branches as per the Internal Directory prepared by Regional Organiser Steve Harris and dated 26th May 2004 is as follows:-

Berkshire 8, Bucks 7, Hants 18, Kent 17, Oxon 6, Surrey 11, Sussex East 8, Sussex West 8 giving a grand total of 83 Branches.

Numbers contacted in the ring round detailed above seems to be 71, representing a contact success rate of 85.5 per cent, in line with the national average reported as 88 percent.

Problem if all 82 Branches listed in the SE Region Branch Directory had voted the following counties would have had Chairman with votes as follows:-

Berks - One Chairman One Vote, Two Chairmen with Two Votes and One with Three = 8
Bucks- One Chairman One Vote, Two Chairmen Two Votes and Two No Chairmen = 7
Hants- Seven with One Vote, Three with Two Votes and Five without officials =18
Kent - Ten with One vote, One with Two, One with Three and Two without officials =17
Oxon - Three with One Vote, One with Two and one with no officials =6
Surrey - Four with One Vote, Two with Two Votes and One with Three Votes =11
Sussex East - Two with One Vote, One with Two Votes and One Three One no off. =8
Sussex West - Seven with One Vote One with no officials = 8

FIRST QUESTION

Who voted for the Branches with no officials if any such were included. These numbered twelve branches last May. Are any now active - it appears so as if not the contact rate amongst other Branches was 100 per cent - 71 Branches which then guarantees that some Chairmen had a vote counted more than once.

SECOND QUESTION

Even if all the twelve Branches with no officials in May now had different chairmen and each voted separately there must still have been some dual voting.

Assumed Twelve new Chairmen in immature branches = 12 votes

Other Single Voting Chairmen = 35 votes

Total Chairmen with Multiple voting possibilities = 16 single individuals

MAXIMUM SINGLE VOTES POSSIBLE (full poll) = 63

MAXIMUM LIKELY SINGLE VOTES ON 85PCT TURNOUT = 54

NUMBER OF VOTES CAST ACCORDING TO UKIP WAS SEVENTY-ONE IN THE SOUTH EAST. THEREFORE THERE HAD TO BE MULTIPLE VOTING BY SOME BRANCH CHAIRMEN TAKING PLACE.
