Can anyone say if

The acting SNP CE Mike Russell has said today the election of a new leader "must go ahead regardless" Personally I don't think it either can nor will.

It is reported in yesterdays Sunday Times newspaper that 78,000 online voting forms have been sent out by the SNP management. This is despite the SNP now having 72,000 members.
If correct then online voting forms have been sent out to people who are no longer SNP members.
The voting in this election for a new leader of the SNP would not look out of place in a banana republic.

'It is reported in yesterday's Sunday Times' i.e. 'it is rumoured by.....' or 'it is made up by......'

I suppose if it's in a Tory rag it has to be true. I mean it's not like any opposition aligned paper would deliberately print an unsubstantiated rumour just to try to derail the process is it?

Kind of akin to rumours of Rangers about to make a bid for three players from the next team they play in the Scottish Cup don't you think?

'if correct' even though you know it isn't.

Two out the three candidates have alleged the vote is rigged, no matter where it's reported clearly something's not right.

According to the same article in yesterday’s Sunday Times the three candidates were surprised that so few voting papers were sent out online.
They including ‘the chosen one’ Humza must have assumed that the SNP still had at least 104,000 members instead of the current 72,000 members.

Yesterday I purchased my Sunday Times as usual and the article in question is in the News section of the newspaper.
It will be interesting to see what the pro SNP newspaper The National are saying about the SNP leadership vote allegedly being rigged.
There will probably blame everyone else in the Media or say nothing.
