#Bolivia #BoliviaElecciones2019 The OAS has released its initial audit report which concludes the October 20 vote result was unreliable. @cedib_com/1193477537801875457?s=19
-
OAS report: both the rapid count and official count used servers that were vulnerable to hacking.
-
OAS: In these last 290,402 votes, Morales was up 15% over previous voting while Mesa was down 15%. “Very unusual behavior" of the data.
-
My aside: other analysts have pointed out that Morales seemed to gain at the expense of Mesa but not Chi and Ortiz, suggesting manipulation.
-
OAS Audit: "… This leads the technical audit team to question the results of the October 20 election."
-
OAS audit: "In the computational component, grave security faults were discovered that affected both the rapid and final count systems."
-
OAS Audit: "… A clear manipulation of the TREP [Rapid Count] system was discovered, which affected the results of both the Rapid Count and the official count."
-
OAS Audit: 1,575 voting tables representing 350k votes were calculated using TREP data. This exceeds the 40k vote margin ensuring a first-round Morales victory.
-
OAS Audit: Technical manipulation is so severe that it should be investigated (and by implication, prosecuted, though the report doesn't say that) by the Bolivian government.
-
OAS Audit: On-paper irregularities also undermine the integrity of the result.
-
OAS Audit reviewed 176 election table records from Argentina; 38% had more voters than people registered.
-
OAS Audit conclusion: "Any future process must rely on new electoral authorities to be able to carry out trustworthy elections."
