GMP says they included "some instances of more than one voter going into a booth at the same time, and instances of people looking over the shoulder of voters"

But "the observers do not allege any verbal instruction or physical conduct that indicated one person was directing or coercing another regarding how to vote," GMP says.

"This is a crucial part of the legislation to prove such an offence was committed"

This is the law they're referring to:

I don't understand this; I usually go into my husbands booth and we compare/talk, to make sure we're putting the right bastards as far down the line as possible. And it's a tight race to the bottom 🙄

GMP says the Democracy Volunteers did not document suspect descriptions or timings that could be pursued in an investigation

It says officers also spoke to the Presiding Officers at 15 stations as well as the Acting Returning Officer, and they have "received no further criminal reports"

I'm confused. Democracy Volunteers were very explicit that they had specifically observed family voting and coercion.
