What Votes Count? On Voter Fraud And Intimidation [An African Election]
The complaints were significant enough that Wisconsin’s Government Accountability Board, which is responsible for state election activities, issued a statement saying “in recent elections we have received disturbing reports and complaints about unacceptable, illegal behavior by observers. Voters expect a calm setting in which to exercise their right to vote.” True the Vote took it personally.
The tensions increase when citizens consider how the Voting Rights Act is the subject of new debates in the Supreme Court. While Ghana is still piecing together their national standards for voter enfranchisement, it is worth wondering if the Electoral Commissions actions will lead to lawsuits, and if Ghana’s Parliament will be able to craft new legislation around election rights after December 7th.
