Vote fraud happens. They threw out that particular election but I don't think any of the people who committed fraud were ever charged. And dozens of precincts in Philadelphia haven't had a single vote for a Republican presidential candidate in decades.
Stinson's absentee ballot campaign led to hundreds of improper votes, mostly in the district's Latino and African American neighborhoods. Those improper votes included forgeries and instances in which workers either marked ballots for voters, told them how to vote, or never showed them the ballot that was cast in their names.

British parliamentary democracy has many problems, but voter corruption has never been identified as one of them
"Never identified" because there was no way to identify i maybe?
Kind of like voting precincts here in the US that had 100% of the vote go to Obama. No fraud was identified there. Or the people who complained that they registered to vote but when they went to the polls they learned that they had already filed an absentee ballot - thoughtfully filled out by the person who had visited their house to register them. No fraud identified there either.

You can't "just shutdown" a coal fired generation plant. What you can do is dump the excess power to ground.
Are you serious or just trolling?
The US Department of Education is part of the executive branch of the Federal government with a very big budget.
