Rigging Evidence

Re: Rigging Evidence

@Silaaj

Putting aside party preferences, one needs to put things in perspective with respect to electoral rigging. You have quoted FAFEN, and a few others on this forum have quoted EU observers as saying that the ‘elections were fair’. A realistic way of putting it is that according to FAFEN and EU observers, elections were relatively fair in the polling stations that they monitored.
Heres some info.

FAFEN
**FAFEN observed polling processes at a maximum of 38,274 polling stations and 31,337 polling booths spanning over 263 National Assembly constituencies as a part of its election day observations. The exercise yielded observations of a total 71,397 irregularities and violations in the day’s proceedings

**Now, there were more than 90,000 polling stations and almost 200,000 polling booths across the country. So FAFEN monitored around 15-20% of the total polling booths. Does that allow them to make an assessment about the complete election? Moreover, why would anyone conduct rigging in front of a FAFEN or EU observer? Rigging took place in places where observers werent present, and theres plenty of video evidence.

EU Observers
There were a total 140 EU observers for the whole country. Thats an even worse percentage than FAFEN. Doesnt even warrant a mention to be honest.

That is how elections are done. That is how its being done in Burundi. That is how it is done in Afghanistan. That is how its done in nearly all elections as you would need over 300,000 election observers for just the polling stations.

But FAFEN is the expert in this, not I. So if they and the EU and the US says it was free and fair I would think they would be right. And on top of that what evidence has PTI provided.

I have provided evidence from various sources including the US stating yesterday that the Pakistan elections were free and fair. That is of course with the caveat that free and fair mean something very different in Pakistan.

Just like two PTI supporters were disqualified for rigging. Regardless you want to prove there was massive rigging, provide the evidence.
