Rare were the situations in post-December Romania in which suspicions and accusations of fraud did not hang over an electoral round. Whether we are talking about local, parliamentary or even presidential elections.
Sociologist Alfred Bulai explained to the readers of DC News what are the methods of fraud, embezzlement of electoral results, “patented” in Romania during the last three decades. There are ways of working that do not involve many resources but are extremely “efficient” for those who want to win elections at any cost, even if the voters have decided otherwise.
“It’s very simple: it’s about how many trusted people you have at the voting table, about the experience they have; Do not forget that these people are there from six in the morning and at night at 00.00 they give you everything and everything.
The first question is to have there a trusted person who, above all, does not have to agree with the count: that is, it turns out different, you rub him and you drive him crazy. Two in hand, of course, depending on how vigilant people are, you can even fight for the cancellation of votes that don’t suit you.
When you have people at the voting table, beyond the scrutiny, there are many other formulas: to the mother of the country, when you know that she is voting with the others, or you give her the stamp soaked in ink and she will fill out the ballot; Or, on the contrary, he gives her the stamp with very little ink and she, to make sure it is visible, will stamp the ballot 2-3 times. And the confidant of the department says: no sir, he has two stamps, he cancels himself ”, Alfred Bulai explained.
What is happening in rural areas
“Parties do not usually have as many trusted people to place at each voting table and they find themselves paying people who are not part of the party apparatus to be at the voting table. In general, a vigilant mayor Prepares in advance : he sends his own people as if they were completely independent and thus in certain areas there are mayors who fully control the voting station.
There are many ways: we also talk about the experience you have there. Remember that in rural areas and in small towns those from the neighborhood can be known and the following formula appears: the woman has left her children at home all day, she is worried and you send her home: ‘Lenuţo, go and resolve You are worried about us staying here. Do not worry’.
Two in hand, there are people loyal to the party who start to make noise, to argue, to dispute everything. You, as a simple representative of the department, were paid 50-100 lei, I would not want to curse them with this money, do not get into the scandal, “said sociologist Bulai.
Method “congestion in section”
“There is also the method with the queues in the rooms. Especially as it happened now, where we had a weak presence, there is no need for queues to appear in the rooms. The line is directed, 100 people are put there to sit and discourage the who come to vote, the man sees how crazy there is, how long it lasts, that you have to wait a long time and at some point he gives up and goes home, some may take the time by other methods: that they cannot find their ballot, They cannot find – in the current context – the mask, they even go to the voting table and sit there for minutes to ‘think’, because the law does not tell you that you have a time limit dedicated to voting.
When counting the votes, there is also the classic option of replacing the minutes. You have the report done, if you go to intimidation and they don’t catch the others, they will sign it for you ”, Alfred Bulai also affirmed.
