SCRUTINIZING THE COUNT ?

Post by donut »

Just wondered if anyone independent from the company who does the ballot count could witness the actual counting because to be totally honest .....
I don`t trust the CWU !!!

Neither do I, now.
In the Britain of today, we can but hope that the only semblance of honesty throughout this totally underhand process, is displayed at the count by supposedly independent scrutineers. :nervous

Well according to wranglered it may not be quite as independent as it may seem - though of course that is hearsay.

If you check wranglereds' old posts he had googled the company and got some interesting information, I would be happy to do it but I can't remember the name of the company but I think it began with P?

Polaris......... An independent scrutineer.........any sign of any misdealings would lead to serious consequences. They have to be licesensed check etc and no chance of any wrong doings

The answer was with lovejoy all the time, he probably knows the ins and outs of it - and of course if there was any wrong doing discovered there would be serious consequences - someone did say that the count should not be made known until the ballot was closed and that seems fair because if the ballot count was going the wrong way there could be undue pressure brought to bear.

They changed the law on the running counts a while back.... to stop what you are describing as it's not a fair process if certain areas are being pushed etc
