Mr. Ram can revise his figure to 11,928 without fear of contradiction

Jun 02, 2020 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

Christopher Ram’s missive of 31st May asked “What is the statistical probability of not one of these 9,589 persons detecting a single one of the many thousands who according to Harmon, Norton and Williams committed impersonation on March 2, 2020?” to that number Mr. Ram can add 2339 PPPC agents who certainly would not participate in any attempt to commit electoral fraud.
I have participated in numerous PPPC poll agent training sessions and can testify that it is quite detailed in election-day procedures and fraud prevention tips. We have been lectured ad nauseam on keeping a meticulous record of the count, ticking, or drawing lines through the names of those who have already voted, and importantly what rights we have a party poll agents. These rights include asking to examine ID cards, asking a voter to come closer to compare folio pictures, and/or raising an objection to anyone we suspect to have voted previously as evidenced by remnants of indelible ink on any finger. Vigilance and vociferousness are the strongest themes in those training sessions.
APNU/AFC poll agents have been characterized as incompetent by their party and can make their defense of their intelligence and integrity, for me, I can only restate my objection to the implication that I and my fellow PPPC agents would participate in electoral fraud by any action, passive or active. Mr. Ram can revise his figure to 11,928 without fear of contradiction or being accused of using ‘Mingo mathematics’.

Respectfully,
Robin Singh
