Additional demonstrative evidence was adduced by an expert
computer engineer and data management specialist that when a voter
registration number is inputted into Appellee's SMS verification
system, two or more names appear when only one name should have
appeared for that registration number. In his Final Ruling, the CDHO
never passed on this material issue and how it impacted the October
10. 2017 elections. And so Appellants excepted and argued the issue
before the NEC Board; but the NEC Board totally ignore this evidence
and the impact it had on the fairness, freeness and transparence of
the October 10, 2017 elections. And so Appellants/ Intervenors
except.
23. Appellants/Intervenors further adduced evidence, unrebutted and
uncontroverted, that for the 2005 and 2011 elections, Appellee did
not use an SMS verification system to verify whether a person holding
a voter registration card but whose name was not on the FRR could be
allowed to vote. The evidence adduced also proved that the use of
Appellee's SMS verification system was a recipe for frauds just as
Commissioner Jonathan Weedor predicted in his Press Statement. In
his Final Ruling, the CDHO did not pass on this material evidence. And
so Appellants excepted and presented the issue before the NEC Board;
but the NEC Board failed to pass on this evidence and the effect it had
on the fairness, freeness and transparency of the October 10, 2017
elections. And so Appellants/Intervenors except.
24. Appellants/Intervenors also further adduced evidence, unrebutted
and uncontroverted, to support its submission that the placement of
the FRR on a flash drive, as substitute for printing copies of the FRR
and placing it at the offices of election magistrates and voter
registration centers, in violation of Appellee's own regulation (Voter
Registration Regulations of May 16, 2016, Arts. 22.1, 22.2 & 22.3)
denied those members of the Liberian public who registered to vote
the right to determine whether their names were on the FRR and also
to determine whether a name on the FRR should not have been there
because such person was ineligible to vote or did not come from that
community. The CDHO did not pass on this evidence and the effect it
had on the October 10, 2017 elections. And so Appellants/Intervenors
excepted and argued the issue before the NEC Board; but again the
NEC Board did not pass on this issue and the effect this evidence had
on the fairness, freeness and transparency of the October 10, 2017
elections.
25. Appellants/Intervenors adduced evidence that hundreds and
hundreds of citizens had two or more voter registration cards and that
they voted multiple times in violation of Appellee's own Voter
Registration Regulations of August 12, 2016, Arts. 21.1, 21.2 &24.1(c).
One of such persons is a Sokolo Raymond, who had three (3) voter
registration cards nos. 723183727 (in handwriting), 723304577
(printed) and 723183727 (printed). In his Final Ruling, the CDHO did
not pass on this material evidence and the effect it had on the October
10, 2017 elections even though pursuant to the Executive Law
(Administrative Procedure Act), Section 82.5(1), that specie of
