If I may ask, what is the mode of connection between the card readers and the servers when the card readers are in polling station?

What is the mode of connection between your ATM card and a POS machine? Therein lies your answer.

gabicon:
This server issue is becoming very annoying, first of all what exactly is a server? A server is a central computer that stores data imputed from several computers, the storage can be done via online, local area network or manual data inputs.

That said, we do not vote electronically, are card readers are only meant to verify voters, after verification a pice of paper carrying all political parties is given to us to thumb print. The thumb printed paper is our vote.

After every verified voters must have cast their votes, the votes are counted and party agents sign on the result sheet and the results are forwarded to collation centers.

There is nowhere the results are imputed into the card readers along the process neither do are our card readers internet enabled so how on Earth does a server give results to the PDP?

This case is dead on arrival, if the argument was that the number of accredited voters was less than the votes cast then there is a case.

The only valid argument will be that INEC manually input the election result into their server, that will take some time to achieve.

with everything you typed, it shows that most people on this platform just say whatever they like without verifying
let me write it in bold for your information CARD READER HAS INTERNET ACCESS AND THEIR IS A PLACE TO INPUT THE RESULTS AND TRANSMIT IT ONLINE WITH WIRELESS NETWORK WHICH EVERYONE IS MANDATED TO DO

Max8:

U are the empty and dead brain here,your Atiku and PDP laying claims to a server that they never set their eyes on except a paper print out,use your head, o de oponu ni e,the invisible or maybe na u them send go do the print out,na fools like u Atiku and PDP will decieve with their theory

How did you know they never saw the server? Watch and be educated the matter is just starting and it will be quite revealing.

Doktajay5:


Una still dey answer that efulefu calledmmax8 He knows nothing. His brain didn't develop well but came as streaks of primitive neural tissues up there. Am even suprised he is alive. What else should we expect from such a low life.

Enjoy ur ignorance @Max8 or whatever

As u brain is wacked,dead and buried, you sure need some brain transplant, the DINO MELAYE blood running in your system had been diluted with Kogi weed and Tramadol,I guess the drugs DINO fed u with will remain in your deformed brain and the cure to it never discovered

aolawale025:
INEC cannot scale thru with this lie

If you believe elections results were transmitted to INEC at each polling unit, you can believe anything.

Forget politics and propaganda, as a supposed educated fellow, ask yourself, if elections were e-transmitted, does the electoral act approved it?
2. There were over a hundred thousand polling units across the country, how were the results transmitted electronically in areas where there was no network? You can't etransmit results in some areas and not in all areas if your quest is credibility.
The idea of etransmission of results were dropped by stakeholders due to identified challenges.
The propaganda does not add up at all

Max8:

If he is right that means INEC had a server since the introduction of the card reader in 2011, so why did INEC budget include server for the 2019 elections

Yes INEC has server since . The budget for 2019 is for maintenance, training and upgrade as well as expansion.

Max8:

See the way u talk, that is how stupid Nigerians rant,u claimed u work as an INEC ADHOC staff, why can't u tell us the process, why will u let the sleeping dog alone, outline the process of the election collation to us based on your own true and undiluted experience

since you don't care to know before typing, why should I take my time to educate you
moreover all the candidates are evil to me

Inec staff were asked to ensure transmission of results at the earliest point of network availability.

This matter is an albatross on INEC.

You are wrong sir. That machine DOES NOT need a server to operate. The database can be internalised on it; If you are claiming it is communicating with a database based on the cloud, where did they get the internet network to drive it in various remote locations. I expect you to know that there are lots of architecture and infrastructures that will go into it to take care of security, scalability, performance etc., if that is the route they wanted to go (i.e. communicating with cloud-based database).

First of all, INEC hasn’t even explained their own infrastructure to help us scrutinize performance and output better. I am relying on the INEC budget where servers for the voting purpose was mentioned. Also, if the data was internalized in the machine chips, then if there is a case of a non-working machine, another can be given for accreditation (provision). The standalone reader used by banks such as the Chip Authentication Program to a good extent still provides the bank with enough allowances to run a backroom authorization and counter authorization, arguably this means a superior level of backroom monitoring and control is in place. Dataware houses and servers are custom built to optimize performance. Considering the nature of information and usage, one would expect the chosen architecture to tick all the right boxes in terms of accessibility, scalability and security. It must have been custom built. It is not my problem who won what, I don’t even believe in manually inputting figures on a card reader after voting due to the high risk of human error but still yet, they owe us a sound and intelligent response for the sake of posterity. Many years from now we will look back at the sort of excuses we have swallowed due to lack of transparency and we will understand how we played a role in it happening.

please what is so special in being an ad hoc staff, that you guys are exaggerating. please am not here to prove anything to anybody

I worked as ad-hoc staff, all presiding officers submitted their accredited voter's number to the server, but the result server wasn't available on that day. Inec suspended E-collation of result on the Election Day. If PDP and Apc can access the voters accredited from each polling units from the server and the results declared for the polling units. Then we know the truth.

Not a supporter of pdp or Apc.

Thanks for being civil in your response. I understand you were dwelling on the provision for server(s) in the INEC budget. I am focused on the technicality of the word - SERVER. If INEC budgeted for a server and did not buy it, that was another kettle of fish to be subject to scrutiny by the auditor.

But for people to be saying that because the card readers sent data to a computer in a remote location(which i believe did not hold true anyway) qualifies such remote computer system to be called a server is a no no. that activity DOES NOT qualify any computer system to be called a SERVER.

Uncle Dino, I beg why you dey show us for here? I beg go show Tribunal make dem add am for Exhibit. Your eye go soon clear when card reader turn Server...........Olodo!

Yes, Presiding Officers were trained on how to electronically upload results, but in the field, this encountered many itches. INEC relied totally on manual collation of results.

Max8:
This Dino guy na buffon, showing us card reader means INEC have a server?,PDP claimed they have results sheet printed from the server, who ever that gave them the print out should be an insider, why can they also show us pictures or video of the computer room and the server where they are located, rather than all this cock and bull story about server or no server

This video, watin the person dey talk and watin them dey do no rhyme o, watch am again...

vizzyswagh:

Yes there was no electronic voting but they where electronic uploading results, and this results are store in the Server(database).... please try findout what a Server means

If they were stored in a server as they came in from voting areas,why did Inec needed to still arrange for the results to be call out live in the collation centre.

In America that they use servers,they don't have centres where elections results are announce manually because you have everything on the server.

There was nothing like server because our laws does not even recognize electronic voting or transmission of results electronically.
Your Atiku was scammed.

Here is a video of the moment some INEC hired consultants were training INEC adhoc staff on how to transfer the election results to INEC server with the card readers before the 2019 election.

Senator Dino Melaye who shared the video wrote;

Apparently many nigerians went to school just to waste time n get d paper not the knowledge. The response or comments i see from some people here weakens my nigerianess if i have any left

Calm down and watch the video first.

As Dino sickness and disease runs in your vein

You have nothing to benefit from defending evil
I belong to no Nigerian party
I belong to good conscience party

We criticize constructively not minding whatever party is there

Max8:

Which foolish video, so the card reader as turned to your back up server right, u this slowpoke

Dont mind them, mere looking at the video u will discover that it was recorded by some of them
The lady is saying something else and the video is showing another thing

omaigala:


Calm down and watch the video first.

The video is null and void.

I have watched it,how does it negate the fact that INEC abandoned the idea of electronic transmission when the president rejected the amendment bill.

The Dubai plan was to hack the "server" ,thank God no server!

A fake server that shows only state totals! How about poling unit details?

omaigala:


Calm down and watch the video first.

I have watched it, it is all a lie. That is not a tutorial. It is just some voice over on a recoded video with phone. Even what the video is showing doesnt align with what the lady is saying

Do the card readers need to be internet enabled? They could transmit information through SMS if they're designed to.

Secondly, the results from PDP party agents around the country from officially signed copies do not add to up to what INEC announced finally.

The discrepancies are too huge even if we decide to go by your theory on the card reader.

Atiku was only saying that the results from his party agents around the country tally with what INEC had on its server rather than what INEC announced
