Bogus votes

Letter May 15, 2013
Re-scan fingerprints on electoral lists on which voters had to give thumb impressions before receiving ballot paper.

KARACHI: I would like to appeal to the Election Commission of Pakistan and the Supreme Court to please re-scan the fingerprints on the electoral lists on which the voters had to give their thumb impressions before receiving the ballot paper. This exercise would indicate clearly if multiple thumb prints of any one person appear, which will be legitimate proof that bogus votes were cast. The above exercise must be done without any delay.
