During a recent television debate , none other than Eric Weerawardena of the government clearly stated it was possible for a rigging in the preferential voting though a general rigging is unlikely.
Sunil Handunetti M .P who participated in the debate then questioned , ‘if officers at the top like you were aware of such a potential vote rigging , why is it that you did not expose this ahead?’
Hence , it is now confirmed 100 % and even more that under this MaRa ( Main Racketeer) administration , the elections is also another racket and fraud in Sri Lanka (SL). Even if the people are not aware of this , the Elections Commissioner Mahinda Deshapriya is fully aware of it. This became clearly evident based on the outrageous over anxiety shown by him to suppress the Puttalam polling card discovery episode – the diabolic attempt to conceal the votes that had been cast allegedly after the time of voting .
Lanka e news and the elections monitors questioned the Elections Commissioner (EC) about the number of votes cast at the last elections which was in excess of the total officially declared number of votes. The EC on the other hand without giving a proper answer dodged the issue. The EC, after the conclusion of voting at 4.30 p.m. , did not announce the number of votes cast , suppressed that information and waited until the votes were counted. It is possible for the elections department to officially announce at 4.30 p.m. the votes cast after the voting is over at 4.00 p.m.
We are herein exposing just one of the many elections fraud committed by the shameless EC on the 21 st:
In Kurunegala district by about 12.00 noon ,only 27 % of the votes were cast. This was not only confirmed by the district elections officer but also by Derana in its news telecast. Hiru FM and Neth FM in their broadcasts announced that perhaps there was 30% votes polling in the Kurunegala district at about 3.00 p.m.
These were stark facts confirmed unequivocally by the district elections officer . However , after the voting ended at 4.00 p.m ., no official announcement was made regarding votes cast , while the media reported variously about it. After the counting of votes were over , based on district results it was officially announced there was 66.74 % voting in Kurunegala.
It is from this point of time all the issues proliferate :
The number of registered voters in Kurunegala district is 1,227,810 ,and there were 964 polling centers for them to cast their votes. Only 30% had voted by 3.00 p.m according to official reports- that is 368 343 votes. But. the total number of votes cast swelled to 819,394 by 4.00 p.m.- that is 66.74 % had voted, as announced after the polling count was done.
In other words , between 3.00 p.m. and 4.00 p.m. , 451051 voters have arrived at the 964 polling centers which means that at each polling center at least 468 voters had appeared ! Statistics wise based on this – 8 votes should have been cast every minute during that time !! A voter must have cast the vote and gone every 7 seconds . Mind you this is the least number statistically.
When a voter comes to cast his vote he has to follow the procedural wrangle :
Polling card identification
Name verification
Identification by party representatives at the polling center
Marking the finger with indelible ink.
Going to voting booth, making a cross against his candidate , casting the vote into the ballot box and leaving the booth .
The most intriguing question is , can all this be done within one min. by 8 voters , let alone one voter ?
People cannot act fast forward like in the Charlie Chaplin comic films of the past. In any case Charlie Chaplin was not up to these tricks.
In the circumstances , the Elections Commissioner, our comedian Charlie Goblin is under a duty to explain how he could arrange all this for 8 voters within a minute.
The monitors are also having an onerous responsibility to probe into this and reveal to the people how this feat was performed by MaRa’s hero Charlie Goblin ?
Meanwhile , this MaRa hero Charlie Goblin is also under a duty to explain how polling cards meant for voting were discovered left unattended at Andrews College, Puttalam.
Therefore Mahinda Deshapriya alias Charlie Goblin, please do not search for an escape route just because the producer of the film is Mahinda Rajapakse your ‘Charlie uding’.
It is your absolute duty to give answers to the people for all these egregious lapses .
