How did the percentage of votes rise by 11% (67000 votes) after Matara District secretary's announcement? Can a vote be cast every 20 seconds?


(Lanka-e-News-31.March.2014, 11.00PM) The PAFFREL election monitoring organization disclosed the polling figures just an hour prior to the conclusion of voting as follows:

Colombo 44%
Gampaha 48%
Galle 40%
Matara 40% 
Hambantota 42% -45% 

and these figures were reported by the Lankadeepa newspaper and the other media Institutions too. 

The district Secretary for Kalutara U. D. S. Jayalal also told media that by 2.30 pm there was only 45% polling in Kalutara.

After the conclusion of voting, based on what PAFFREL revealed to the media, the figures were as follows:

Colombo district 49%
Kalutara district 60%
Gampaha district 50%
Galle district 55%
Matara district 55% (this was confirmed by the district secretary)
The figures as revealed pertaining to Hambantota voting was 60% to 64%. 

These figures were published by the Hiru media chain and other media Institutions.

Between the figures revealed after the polling closed and before there had crept in a huge gap as wide as between earth and the sky. 

The election department figures after the polling were as follows:

Colombo district 65.77%
Kalutara district 68.32%
Gampaha district 65.76%
Matara district 66.74% (11% more than the figures confirmed by district secretary.)

Leaving aside the rest of the figures, how come there crept in a 11% difference later in the count after the voting figure was confirmed by the district secretary in Matara? It is certainly possible to regard the voting figure revealed at 4.00 in the evening as 100% correct and is unnecessary to wait until the vote counting is announced. Hence the figure disclosed by the Matara district secretary cannot be swept under the carpet. 

The number of registered voters in Matara district is 608, 524. 11% of the votes is therefore 66937, and significantly the number of illicit polling cards that were found hidden in the office of Matara chief Minister candidate Rasaputra was around 40,000 just before the election.

Let us also look at what the Kalutara district secretary UDC Jayalal announced. According to him, by 2.30 pm at Kalutara, there was only 45% polling. The total number of registered voters in Kalutara is 881,814. Out of this 45% have voted means 396816 votes were cast. Then by 4.00 pm when after the counting the percentage of voting had suddenly risen to 68.32% - that is to 602,463 votes. In other words, the number of votes had increased by 205,647 within just one and half hours!

There were 4253 polling booths in the 6 districts. Then, in the Kalutara district, there should have been at least 700 booths. If 205, 647 votes had been cast at the 700 polling booths within one and half hours, three votes must have been cast every minute. That is one vote cast every 20 seconds.

This means that the voters of Kalutara during the last one and half hours of voting have performed a feat even breaking Ussain Bolt's record. 

It is well for every election official, political party and monitoring organization, before splitting hairs on the other election rackets of the crooked government, to focus their attention on this fraud with statistical proof.

How did the voting rise by 11% suddenly when the polling began, much above the figure disclosed earlier by the Matara district secretary? This is a most serious issue with grave portents because it is very suggestive that this poll rigging had taken place at every district. 

This rigging and fraudulent filling of polling boxes had occurred even in the previous elections monumentally under the MaRa regime. Still no answers have been found. No answers are sought too.

Will at least the answers be found after thunderbolt strikes the curse of the shawls?
