{UAH} AN ANALYSIS OF THE 2016 RIGGING BY JOSEPH TUMUSHABE

I am about to explode

Amama's lawyers finally delivered their punches today. After a week of evasive maneuvers that saw them exposed in court for falsely claiming to hv given DR Forms and Tally Sheets to the petitioner, the EC was yesterday forced to hand them over.

Skeletons started diving out of that closet immediately:
1. In Kabale, Hope Mwesigye testified that no tallying was done. Police stormed the tally centre and took away the Returning Officer (RO) and his server and matls. In rebuttal, the EC had submitted the RO's affidavit saying Hope lied, he tallied and read results in Kabale. Today, from EC docs, Mohammed produced the RO's statutory report to the EC saying he delivered the district computer server to Kampala after technical problems in transmission. EC nabbed lying in court, pants down.

2. Electronic tallying and false tallying generally:
A) petitioner used EC's own documents and produced a matrix of dozens of polling stations where votes cast exceeded total number of regd voters by very material numbers ranging from 50-300% excess. Museveni won all those.

😎 in dozens of polling stations in Kiruhura, about 136 or so, 100% of registered voters voted and 100% of them voted Museveni. Nobody abstained. Nobody had travelled, fell sick, was imprisoned or died since registration and nobody gave even 1 vote to another candidate.

C) in multiple cases, the numbers on the tally sheets used by the EC were totally different from the ones on the DR forms given to court by the EC. This was seen in Kyenjojo, Wakiso, Kabale and etc. Museveni ended up with more votes.

D) in almost all results from Jinja district, the tally sheets used are time stamped 4pm with zero for all candidates but the ECannounced Zmuseveni winner in Jinja using that very tally sheet. Where did their numbers come from?

E) for Wakiso and Kampala where delivery was late. The tally sheets show receipt of tallied data from polling stations where voting was still in progress.

F) data entry and tallying at districts was done without the presence of candidates' agents, a total breach of the law and the transparency principle.

G) similarly, no witnessing of tallying was allowed at Namboole. Candidates' agents were just given a screen similar to what the public viewed at home on tv. They witnessed announcements only, not tallying as required by law.

H) according to Kiggundu, it took only 30 seconds to verify and process a voter using the biometric voter verification kit. According to a polling station presiding officer trained by the EC. It took 2 minutes. If the presiding officer is correct, only 7.2 million people cud hv voted, not the almost 10 million people the E MC says voted.

I) Kiggundu testified that the BVVK kits cud not store voter registration data but it's apparently available at district EC servers and was withheld from court. Where did the EC get the data on total votes cast since they tallied from non-DR sources and non BVVK sources? Kiggundu did not tally from Declaration of Results forms from polling station as required by law. Also, popular social media was blocked to cripple the ability of candidates' agents to independently transmit true results for tallying or to report malpractices. A GFwd agent who reported in HOIMA that ballot box seals were broken before voting started was arrested by the police and DISO as a national security threat.

J) petitioner had submitted that the EC had no legal cover in the Presidential Elections Act to replace witnessable manual tallying at the district with the Electronic Data Results Transmission System. EC had replied saying yes, true but they got legal cover from the Electronic Data Transmission Act which says data shall not be invalidated becoz it is electronically submitted. Today the petitioner submitted that that law validates data only if it is both authentic and properly transmitted. Petitioner submitted that he had proved the data sent from the districts and used at Namboole was riddled with fraud and falsehoods.

K) petitioner submitted that in 2011, the EC submitted regulations to Parliament to give legality to the use of phone and fax transmission, meaning they knew this was required under the Presidential Elections Act in 2011 but did not do it legally for 2016. EC claimed they gazetted the regulations but failed to give a copy to court.

L) petitioner submitted that asking complainants to prove quantitative substantial effect gives total cover to cheating when cheating is done en masse to provide huge margins between the cheat and his victim. In this case, the process of data entry and tallying has been exposed to hv been so non-transparent and outrightly fraudulent that the high degree of non-compliance with the law renders the result a farce of such magnitude that is both unfair and an absurdity to ask the victim to prove anything further in numbers against such invalid numbers.
