As
you all know, the Scots decisively rejected independence and decided to stay in
the United Kingdom, which is a wise move on their part . . . and which proved
me correct in my prediction.
But
what I find most interesting from last night was a certain episode in Glasgow. Ten instances of voter fraud were
discovered. Contrast the response
to what would (not) happen in the U. S.:
Police launched an
investigation after the city’s council alerted them to 10 suspected cases of
voters impersonating other people, allowing them to complete two ballot papers.
Under British law, voters are not required to present identification when they
take part in an election.
Stewart Hosie, SNP
Treasury spokesman at Westminster, said it was “very sad that people feel the
need to engage in any kind of impersonation”, adding: “I think that’s a daft
thing to do. The ballot papers have been identified, they will be taken away
and fingerprinted, the police will do their job and I’m sure whoever has done
it will be caught and sentenced….”
I’ve
made no secret of my disdain for the Leftist politics of Scotland. But at least they actually oppose and vigorously
seek to punish election fraud.
The
contrast with the ruling political party in the U. S. is stark indeed.
