A Tory activist has been convicted of trying to rig a local election. John Hall, 67, chairman of Whiteley Conservative Association, was found guilty of one count of electoral fraud at Guildford Crown Court last week.
Hall, of Coriander Way, Whiteley, near Fareham, was fined £1,015 which he paid immediately by credit card.
Sentencing him, Judge Neil Stewart said that had he been convicted of all the four counts with which he had been charged, he would have considered sending the Tory to prison.
