The Coalition’s gadgetry went berserk last week

May 19, 2020 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

Over last week the gadgetry within the Coalition’s machinery went out of control. It all started after a Bruce Golding video tore Mingo’s fraudulent declaration to shreds. Golding showed how Mingo inflated the votes for APNU/AFC in four Region 4 boxes, using the SOR’s published by GECOM.
With Mingo’s secret cistern perceived to be broken by Golding, the Coalition seems to have felt the ground shifting under their feet and became infuriated. Joe Harmon first came to salvage the broken cistern. Instead of discrediting the message by presenting Mingo’s spreadsheet or the party SOPS, he attacked the messenger, accusing Golding of being” exceptionally partisan” and ““hostile to the nation and people of Guyana”.
The groundwork for a future narrative – that dead and migrated people voted in the elections – that were slowly being amassed in the observation corner of the recount was forced to ripen prematurely by Golding. Pontificating this narrative has two purposes.
By constantly alleging, without evidence, that dead people and people who migrated voted they are hoping to derail the credibility of the elections. That done, like in the parlance of ” eating your cake and still have”, they want GECOM to declare them as the winner on the basis of Mingo’s fraudulent declaration that GECOM chair refused to set aside before the recount. What happened next would suggest that Harmon may have lambasted the others for not pulling their weight in their grand scheme of deceit. From that day at least one top official came by every day to take a shot, drive by style, at the journalist tent at the Conference Center, seeking coverage to indoctrinate the people into their sinister plot.
Leonard Craig said the party had concerns about the credibility of the elections since the night of the election and the party was just making a “general statement” when it deemed the elections as free, fair and credible.
Speaking of Golding report, Patterson stammered out, “he called some numbers, I don’t know where it is…” Patterson said the SORs “largely reflect what we have in our possession”, but would not commit to releasing their SOPS.
Next came the PNC discarded strong man Aubrey Norton. He spoke of seeing a woman voting twice in Region 3 but did not report it because they, assumedly GECOM was not taking report at that time. We all know, had that happened, this individual would have brought down fire and brimstone instantly! He made it clear that his party has” no apologies” for not releasing its SOPS.
Cathy drive by to shoot her piece the same day, saying that “missing poll book” is an indication of skullduggery. GECOM’s PRO took the wind out of her sail by ascertaining that all the poll books are accounted for. Cathy said the list would have been sanitized “if there was a claims and objections period”. There was a claims and objections period! Was she comatose?
Next came Williams. Within a few hours he meandered from seeing “numerous acts of skullduggery committed by the opposition”, for which GECOM will have to do something about, to the recount cannot decide the outcome of the elections.
Groundwork laid! The two queens of Sheba, Amna and Volda, rolled in to find out what GECOM was going to do about these alleged discrepancies.
Finally, Granger had to roll in Sunday morning to put some semblance of order to his disgruntled ranks, saying that he will respect any declaration made by GECOM. He said that he is inspired by the 4 Cs -” constitution, courts, commission and Caricom” as his justification for not allowing the return of the Carter Center. Did he forget that the word Carter begins with a C?
Then he blames the COVID lockdown to protect the people as the reason for blocking the Carter Center. We all know that the Airport was opened to allow the entry of numerous Exxon workers despite COVID.

Yours respectfully,
Rudolph Singh
