Dear IMC 

I believe the post on Bristol Indymedia today at 12:06 entitled "Postal Vote
Results" and posted by "Ed Lines" could well be in contravention of
Electoral Law. I have asked Bristol City Council Electoral Services for
guidance on this issue and will advise you of their response in due course.

Meanwhile, you may wish to consider hiding this article? 

Normally, I wouldn't mind such posts, but as the results displayed are based
on an unproven sample (if indeed the person making the post was even at the
count) they can hardly be valid. 

My suspicion is that this is a deliberate attempt by an agent of another
party candidate to damage the performance of The Bristolian Party in the
forthcoming election. If so, a criminal offence has been committed by the
person posting this article.

Many thanks

Julien Weston
Party Political Leader
The Bristolian Party
