Context by Compass

The claim that the Labour Party will cheat using mail-in ballots in the 2024 UK general election lacks evidence and is highly speculative. Historical data and numerous studies, such as those conducted in the US, show that while there have been isolated incidents of mail-in ballot fraud, the overall rate of such fraud is extremely low. For instance, a 2017 study by the Brennan Center for Justice found the rate of voting fraud in the US to be less than 0.0009% BBC. Additionally, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has debunked many myths surrounding mail-in voting, emphasizing that absentee ballots are not inherently fraudulent and that there are numerous safeguards in place to ensure the integrity of the voting process CISA. There is no verified information or credible sources that support the claim that the Labour Party plans to engage in such activities in the upcoming election. Therefore, this claim appears to be unfounded and should be viewed with skepticism.
