Facts

In an interview with Lewis put out on Twitter, he compared the new policy of needing identification to vote in the United Kingdom with the ID needed to collect a parcel or take a book out of the library. According to due diligence organisation Full Fact“This is misleading…requirements for the type of ID you need to vote are different to that when picking up a parcel, as voter ID requires a photograph.”

Brandon Lewis was misleading Norfolk voters and his twitter followers.
