WiszyFraud:. It’s going to be very dull. The dullest election in history. It’s just a formality election to fulfil Constitutional requirements because the election had already been won and lost or are you waiting till Atikulation’s home government Finitri, Balabala Muhammed of Bauchi and Seyi Solo-Makinde to sing ON YOUR MANDATE WE SHALL STAND before you know that there will be no real Presidential election in 2027? |

| Re: Nigerian Senate Passes Electoral Bill by Bobloco: 3:56am On Feb 05 |
TimeManager:Technical glitches happen agreed. That’s exactly why strong laws remove discretion, not expand it. When systems fail, democracies rely on clear, mandatory safeguards, not “options” that conveniently appear only when results are inconvenient. South Africa didn’t respond to glitches by weakening result transmission they strengthened oversight and transparency. INEC didn’t need options.It needed obligations. Glitches are accidental. Designing loopholes is intentional and that's what Tinubu APC led regime and Senate just did |
| Re: Nigerian Senate Passes Electoral Bill by amazingspiderma: 4:09am On Feb 05 |
casualobserver:Definitely an APC mole. All they do is cast doubt on issues that could help solve Nigeria problems. Electronic transmission is one of the solutions considering the challenges faced in the last election. |

*Why Rejecting the “Mandatory” Electronic Transmission of Results Makes No Sense, and Why Reverting to a Failed Method Is Dangerous.* APC are arguing that electronic transmission of election results should not be mandatory because it can be hacked. That sounds reasonable, until you think deeper. First, let us ask a simple question: Is paper result safe? No. Paper results can be changed on the road, inside a vehicle, or at the collation centre. People have been rewriting figures for years. We all know this. Now another question: Can electronic results be hacked? Yes, they can. But here is the truth: both systems have problems. There is no perfect system. So the real question is not “Is electronic transmission risky?” The real question is: Which one is easier to protect—paper or electronic? Paper is easy to change quietly. Electronic systems leave records, time stamps, and digital traces. If someone tampers with them, it can be detected. Some people say: “What if there is no network in the polling unit?” INEC has already explained this in simple terms: The result is recorded and snapped at the polling unit immediately voting ends. Even if there is no network, the machine will keep it and upload it automatically once it sees network. So nobody can change it on the road. Now think again. If we fear hackers, can a country not also hire experts to protect the system? If bad people can pay hackers, can government not pay security experts? That is what serious countries do. So why are we afraid? Because the old paper system allows manipulation without evidence. Electronic transmission makes cheating harder and easier to expose. The problem is not technology. The problem is that some people are comfortable with a system that can be bent. Changing the system will not solve everything overnight, but refusing to improve it will keep us stuck. Rejecting mandatory electronic transmission makes no sense. Going back to an old method that failed in the last election is dangerous. People have lost trust in INEC, and repeating the same process will not restore confidence. If the old way worked, we wouldn’t be here. To rebuild trust, we must improve the system, not return to one that already failed. Emotion will not fix elections. Better systems will. |

Akpabio threw out mandatory electronic transmission of result, so that him and other crooks can leave loopholes that they can easily manipulate and cook results. |

phonek:Paper results are issued at the polling unit and the original results is pasted for the voters at the polling unit to see. In addition, stamped/signed copies are given to agents of all parties and the police. If anyone changes the result, the party agents, police and the voters have copies of the original results. If anyone alters any results, there are multiple layers of control to show tampering of results. If you tamper the results you will have to tamper with the result displayed at the polling unit, the copies with the various party agents, the results snapped by the various voters at the PU. I stopped reading your post there because it is clear you do t know how the voting process works and have allowed yourself to be gaslighted by the propaganda. I have said it many times, anyone who takes a dispassionate examination of our current voting system will realise it is one of the more fool proof systems in the world. No system can prevent electoral fraud. What you need from a system is a means to provide evidence of electoral fraud when it occurs and we have that. You cannot rig in Nigeria without leaving evidence. Even the US and Uk voting systems cannot compare to ours. It was designed to catch crooks because we are a nation of crooks. The systems in the Uk and USA operate on trust and good faith. |

amazingspiderma:How does it solve the problem? KINDLY EXPLAIN! No system can solve the problem of bad loser who refuses to accept defeat and blames everyone but himself. . Atiku and Obi lost because they split their votes, not because of INEC. If they were so sure they won, why are they trying to recombine now? Stop spinning the yarn you hear and swallow without thinking and tell us how it solves the problem. What happens if I hack and alter the results while in transmission? How do you know the authentic result? What happens if there is a submarine cable cut on the day of the election or if the network fails in an area or the whole country? What if I hack the result while in transmission and alter it and it has been announced in real-time only for the people in the polling unit to realize that was not the result declared in my PU? You have already transmitted and announced a hacked result in real-time. Meanwhile I and others at polling unit know that was not the result at the PU! What do you do then? You will create chaos and will have to revert back to the paper results at the PU. You will create a chaotic environment and give any loser grounds to say the whole election is invalid. All for what? If you still have to refer to the paper results as the ultimate authentic account of what transpired at the PU, then tour electronically transmitted result is ultimately meaningless! All you do by transmitting a result that is later found to be hacked or flawed is render the election lacking in credibility. You guys need to engage the God given grey matter more often if you still have any left! Some ideas may sound good on paper or in theory until you think them through and realize they actually create bigger problems. Many of you don’t think things through! You guys just talk! A little more intellectual engagement would do a lot for you and society at large. |

Spot on!.. truly emotional and ignorant set of people. As an IT expert I can tell you electronic transmission can be HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE to Hacks… our technology hasn’t reached that Topnotch level just yet for internet penetration and DATA SECURITY. Unfortunately lots of emotional and ignorant folks wouldn’t care to understand. It’s wise to have Options of Both Manual & Electronic transmissions! casualobserver: |

MaziObinnaOkija nsogbu di na otu nzuzo Kanu ugbua. Back to back good News coming out of Nigeria and they don't know which lie to spin to counter or twist the narrative. Even this electoral act that they've been clamouring for, saying it won't be passed , now that it has been passed to their greatest Shame, they are now saying they didn't make electronic transmission mandatory like it's don anywhere else.. Chai‼️ it pains to b a Kanu/Obi supporter rn. Such emotional damage has been inflicted on them by themselves that they don't know what to do anymore. And here you are adding insult to their open sores. Mazi Obi gi ajoka ka nkem MaziObinnaokija: |
