I've spent some time looking for voting patterns, people who vote for themselves, and "suspect" registrations who seem to only vote ... for the same person!!! On that note - anyone reading this should take note that we'll be clamping down on persistent offenders who vote for themselves .....

i have put a selection of the pics in a photo album:
