St. George's, Grenada, December 1st, 2010: The New National Party wishes to re-iterate its deep concerns regarding the integrity of the Electoral Office and its attempts to subvert the wishes of the people in the next general elections whenever it is called.
This claim has been echoed by the New National Party on the grounds that the present holder of the office of supervisor of elections is a well known party activist of the National Democratic Congress Party and was seen during the last election campaign in a manner of deep involvement with the then opposition NDC.
Meanwhile, The New National Party has learnt through the news media on Tuesday 29th.Nov. that a shipment of electronic equipment costing over two million dollars has just been received by the electoral office .
While the NNP is not opposed to the general upgrading of our institutions, we are particularly concerned about the rush to spend such a large sum of money exceeding over two million dollars at a time when our people are facing mass unemployment, businesses are closing down, people are suffering, mothers can hardly put food on the table, but the priority of the NDC Government seems bent on investing our scarce resources in new electronic equipment for the Electoral Office.
The NNP wishes to remind the public that the NDC won an election under an existing system and is now investing in a new one which has been proven NOT to be fully secured as reported by CNN, CBS, CBC and other news outlets . We therefore wish to inform the public that several electronic voter registration and voter machine systems are still prone to many problems as reported throughout the United States, Canada and England, with questionable practices possible such as vote tampering, hacking and patch implants as been the then "breaking News ."
The New National Party has found statements and even a present lawsuit to show that even "voter registration electronic equipment " are easily hacked and tampered with to provide the desired results on election day.
The New National Party is therefore calling on the Office of his Excellency, the Governor General to look into this troubling matter with great urgency.
