Before, during and after the recent voter registration excercise, INEC chairman Ataihiru Jega was all over the place telling everyone how the DDC machines and the IT equipment in Abuja would detect multiple registrations. He also went as far as saying that all those who stole DDC machines to go and register an extra '200' people in their houses were wasting their time.

However, the voter registration has ended and INEC has not come out to say how many people registered more than once etc. Or is it still uploading and cross referencing the data from all its DDC machines? Ordinarily, it should be arelatively simple task. Just upload all the data from the various DDC machines unto the central server and use face recognition and fingerprint recognition software to cross reference all the data to find same faces and/or fingerprints that were registered on multiple machines and the locations of those machines, INEC, we are waiting!!
