@Lily_and_frog@mastodon.art @Remittancegirl@mstdn.social @stevendrowe@mstdn.social AIUI the claim is that the wife tells the poll worker that she is illiterate and therefore needs her husband to accompany her to read the ballot paper to her.

@tokensane@mastodon.me.uk @Lily_and_frog@mastodon.art @Remittancegirl@mstdn.social @stevendrowe@mstdn.social I’ve had to do exactly that for my mother when she was alive. But I’m white so I doubt Nigel would have a problem with that.

@stevendrowe@mstdn.social @tokensane@mastodon.me.uk @Lily_and_frog@mastodon.art @Remittancegirl@mstdn.social I think the "monitoring organisation" that started this was claiming that two people entering the booth together is illegal in itself, but I suspect that's not true.
