It is ironic the same day US Senator called for fraudulent votes to be counted, the media in the US is reporting that 20% of the ballots in a municipal election is NJ were rejected. This is significant because the nature of the fraud in the NJ election is very similar to the fraud uncovered during the vote recount in Guyana. This is total vindication for GECOM CEO Keith Lowenfield.
The election for the municipal in Paterson, NJ, held on May 12, 2020, was primarily by mail-in ballot because of the pandemic. However, several citizens who are listed as voting told NBC they never received a ballot and did not vote. “One woman, Ramona Javier, after being shown the list of people on her block who allegedly voted, told the outlet she knew of eight family members and neighbors who were wrongly listed. “We did not receive vote-by-mail ballots and thus we did not vote,” she said. “This is corruption. This is fraud.”
In addition to the voter impersonation issues, there were issues of tampering with ballots. Cases of ballots being collected by people who were not authorized to collect them. Other instances where hundreds of mail-in ballots were found bundled together in mailboxes. This was deemed an anamoly because no single person is supposed to collect more than three (3) ballots. In addition, 14% of the total ballots received were rejected because they failed to match statutory documents. The signatures on these ballots did now match the signatures on file.
So far four persons have been charged by NJ Attorney General, Gurbir S. Grewal. One losing candidate has moved to the court to prevent the swearing in of his opponent who won despite being charged for tampering with some of the rejected ballots. The local chapter of the NAACP is calling for the elections to be invalidated.
In Guyana, GECOM CEO rejected a number of votes because of evidence of voter impersonation, various discrepancies and irregularities. During the recount it was established that hundreds of dead people and people out of the country on election day supposedly voted. Twenty-nine (29) ballot boxes in one geographic area had no statutory documents. Statutory documents required to establish the validity of the votes were missing from at least 20% of the ballot boxes.
Like in New Jersey, these discrepancies and irregularities are evidence of a coordinated fraudulent voting campaign. The fact the evidence was found in only PPP areas is a clear indicator of the PPP involved. Like the NJ Attorney General, GECOM CEO rejected the ballot boxes that were infected by the fraud. He initially suggested that the elections should be invalidated, but the PPP rejected this. They insisted the fraudulent ballots must be counted.
The public stance of the OAS, ABCE, CARICOM, and now US Senators on this matter is puzzling. If this level of corruption was uncovered in an election in the US, not only would the elections have been invalidated, hundreds of persons would have been charged and placed before the courts. It is clear, their stance on allowing fraudulent votes to be counted is not about democracy, it is about regime change. Also, each statement originating in a country which would not have accepted such fraud in it’s elections is just evidence of Mercury LLC doing effective work. Guyanese must tune out those noise and focus on ensuring no fraudulent vote is counted.
