UUP accuses SF of electoral fraud

The Ulster Unionist Party has accused Sinn Fein of intimidating electoral officers to ensure that Michelle Gildernew won the Fermanagh and south Tyrone seat in the last general election.

The defeated Ulster Unionist candidate, James Cooper, has alleged that threats and intimidation by Sinn Fein members led officials to reopen the polling station in Garrison after the deadline for casting votes had passed.
