Dear Editor,
What the public does not know about voting on election day is that there is a document called a “folio” which has a picture of all the persons registered to vote at that polling station. That picture of the person in the folio is the same picture which appears on the person’s ID card. All the people manning the polling stations on election day which includes all representatives of the political parties called “polling agents” have a copy of that folio for them to ascertain that the person about to vote matches the picture on the ID card and the folio.
The claim that dead persons or migrated persons voted is simply absurd because it means that every single person in that polling station including the respective party representatives (polling agents) would have had to act in a grand conspiracy to allow a person who does not match the picture on the ID card and the folio to vote. Even in the 28 consecutive years when the PNC rigged elections, the rigging did not happen under the watchful eyes of polling agents of the PPP. In those rigged elections, the ballot boxes would be taken away and stuffed. It is important that the public knows this.
Yours faithfully,
Charles S. Ramson
