I have been reading the start of this thread concerning the potential for postal vote rigging on an industrial scale by Idox.
I am a Mathematician who specialises in statistics. I have compiled the data of the 2010, 2015, 2017 and 2019 elections together into one document in an attempt to be able to compare the results between both the elections and also the constituencies that had Idox (or one of its subsidiaries) counting the vote compared to those that did not.
The only issue I currently have is that I do not have 3 columns of information that I need to complete the comparison. These columns are: Number of postal ballot papers issued for each constituency in the 2019 election, Number of postal votes included in the count for each constituency in the 2019 election and whether each constituency used Idox to run their postal vote count or not.
Unfortunately, because these results are not compiled and centralised until 2 years later by the electoral commission, the only way that I can obtain this data is by making 650 individual FoI requests, one for each constituency. This will require a huge amount of time, and whilst I am trying to get whatdotheyknow website to assist me with this, it looks like I will have to go about this the long way. Therefore I am wondering if other people will be willing to also make the FoI requests so that I can finish the data collection and make a comparison that could potentially highlight industrial scale voter fraud?
Please let me know if you could be of assistance in this.
Thanks,
Clifton
