"Rangers and police have arrived at the polling station'. I thought they were already deployed at the polling stations. Sorry affair and pathetic performance by security agencies.

When was this? I went there to vote, and I was surprised at how helping everyone there was. I cast my vote easily, and saw others doing so too, no matter what party there were supporting.
