[quote]"No evidence" of electoral fraud has been found in the Thanet South seat contested in the general election by Nigel Farage, police have said.

The UKIP leader failed to win the seat, losing out to Conservative candidate Craig Mackinlay.

Kent Police said initial investigations were prompted by contact from outside the county expressing concerns over social media speculation.

Thanet District Council said it was not under investigation for fraud.

In a statement it said police had an obligation to follow up the complaint.

"The council's returning officer is satisfied that the correct processes were followed and a member of the Electoral Commission was present at the election in Thanet," it said.[/quote]

TLDR a bunch of people on Twitter claimed some ballot boxes went missing or got stolen or something, the police announced they were investigating and they all went HA SEE IT'S TRUE and then this happened
