Concerns have been raised over the prolonged transportation time of ballot boxes in Buri Ram, following the recent general Thai election. A group of ten complainants from Non Suwan and Nong Ki districts filed a request with the Election Commission’s Buri Ram office, questioning why it took four and a half hours to transport the ballot boxes across a 20-kilometre distance.

 

Led by Sawat Jampasasawangwong, the complainants pointed out that it took election officials from 9.30pm on May 14 to around 2am on May 15 to transport Constituency 7 ballot boxes from the Non Suwan district office to Nong Ki district office. They also expressed concerns over the apparent improper sealing of the ballot boxes upon arrival in Nong Ki, as well as the number of used ballots from some polling stations exceeding the number of voters.

 

Provincial election office representatives have accepted the complaint and committed to investigating the matter, Bangkok Post reported.

But they couldn't even reseal the boxes properly and get the readjusted numbers to more or less coincide with the number of voters!

 

Incompetence is the norm here, even amongst criminals.

To quote Josef Stalin, "Its not the people who vote that count, Its the people that count the votes that matter".

Somchai made a well-deserved break at the local pub and had to say hello to his Mianoi in his favourite house of ill repute ....... why are you asking?
