Momentum getting free ads in the Guardian on how students can tactically vote for Magic Grandpa.

Surely that's bordering on vote rigging. Aren't people supposed to make their own mind up about who to vote for, and if you're (lucky enough?) to have two addresses to choose from, you should be making the decision of which one to vote in yourself, or at least leaving it down to which location you're physically in on the election day. Or vote in the location which you care most about the future of, which in the case of students is more likely to be home that they are likely to return to one day rather than the town they spent four years drinking in.https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/sep...

There was a suggestion that some students MAY have voted at home and at Uni last time around.... just a suggestion mind 
Also, whilst there is merit in engaging with youngsters and encouraging them to register to vote, it does feel very much like vote rigging in that a Uni town will struggle to vote anybody but a red rosette and by definition a Momentum hard left extremist if they mobilise the troops so to speak?
Not much different to trying to rally the hard right oldies to get out and vote - who are more inclined to do it out of duty anyway..... just that they have a world of life experience to fall back on when they vote!!
Still stinks though with free adverts/editorials/advertorials if that is true?

If you repeat a lie often enough it becomes the truth. Read the article check the numbers and see how small they are in the overall scheme of things. Or do as many on here do and scream “BBC - they’re lizard people and everything they say is a lie, better to listen to my lies and accept them as the truth”Also, whilst there is merit in engaging with youngsters and encouraging them to register to vote, it does feel very much like vote rigging in that a Uni town will struggle to vote anybody but a red rosette and by definition a Momentum hard left extremist if they mobilise the troops so to speak?

Out of interest, do you know the mechanism designed to ascertain whether any ONE person has voted twice? Can you explain anything about the mechanism?https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-43245969
I can legally vote in two places.....
Want to discuss further? your link to the BBC 'proves' nothing!! As does the Trumpesque statement, 'many people have suggested that students MAY have voted more than once'

No I don’t. I’m guessing if I was paid to investigate it then I’d probably become a bit of an expert on it. I can legally vote in two places.....

I very much doubt that you can “legally vote in two places” unless you’re going to say something like “haha, I can vote in Germany as well”. You can vote in multiple locations in local elections, but only once in a GE, no matter how many times you’re registered in different places.

I am legally allowed to vote in two UK places/constituencies. I am only allowed to vote in ONE in any single GE. See how easy it can be to disprove someone with pedantry?
And for info, there is NO - for the avoidance of doubt - not one single system in place that can pick up multiple votes by (e.g.) me! There is a declaration, one that I could choose to ignore. There is (for the avoidance of doubt) no online / electronic / paper based system that would pick up my 'double vote' unless I was reported! NONE.
Hopefully that will help your understanding of the problems hiding behind 'minimal prosecutions' for multiple voting? Albeit I have ZERO proof that it has happened.....

Pedantry seems to be the go to place on here far too often. Even my guess at your answer was straight to expecting a pedantic answer. Your point doesn’t alter what I said though.

There is no central register for a lot of things, that doesn’t make fraud an automatic and regular occurrence though. Given the numbers in the article that I quoted then it’s clearly not the issue that you claim. Unless you believe that there are thousands of unreported cases, which I doubt. If it was a systemic attempt to defraud then someone always whistleblows, usually when they’re in a huff about something. If it’s thousands of acting independently then there’s huge scope for the, to come to light as people are generally a bit thick when committing a crime.
