PSC is afraid of a National Recount; I am not shocked

Apr 08, 2020 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

I am not shocked that the Private Sector Commission is afraid of a total national recount and only wants the votes of District Four to be recounted. As a front for the People’s Progressive Party, they are echoing the PPP’s position, since that political party is afraid of a total national recount.
The recent action of the Private Sector Commission (PSC) has cemented my lingering thoughts of that organisation being a subset of the People’s Progressive Party. The shifting of the goalpost must not be allowed to continue, and the recent pronouncement by the PSC is a confirmation that they don’t want every vote to be counted. They are not interested in knowing the ‘real’ truth of the March 2, 2020 Regional and General Elections.
It is President David Granger that called for a total national recount, and I believe the entire country is in support of this call, mainly because we have recognised that the People’s Progressive Party and all their surrogates, in their attempt to discredit District Four’s declaration, are not interested in what occurred in the other districts.
Many persons have spoken out about the other districts and the Deputy Chief Elections Officer submitted an affidavit to the High Court, where she related that eight of the nine districts used the spreadsheet method, and not the SOP by SOP method.
The questions that are now lingering in my mind are as follows: –
Are the PPP/C and their subsets afraid of what will be unearthed in the other districts?
Will this total national recount show more votes for APNU+AFC?
It is now my fervent view that the Private Sector Commission should be stripped of its observer status from Elections 2020 and not be allowed anywhere near the ballot boxes. The Private Sector Commission has caused the turning of heads both nationally and internationally.
I know that a recount in Districts One, Two, Three, Five, Six and Nine will give more votes to APNU+AFC and less to the PPP/C. I strongly believe the same applies to the other districts so in my loud voice I say, LET THE TOTAL NATIONAL RECOUNT FROM DISTRICT ONE TO TEN BEGIN!
The People’s Progressive Party must not be allowed to run and hide from the fact that they lost the 2020 elections. Let the chips fall where they may.
