Likud's efforts to 'stop election fraud' is a partisan move to help win the election. If they really cared about the integrity of the election, this would be fixed at the Government level. Bibi is the countries longest serving Prime Minister. He has had plenty of time to implement changes, especially after the do over municipal elections 5 years ago. ehwhyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06436676108396672275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-13221062396684184202019-08-19T21:57:05.129+03:002019-08-19T21:57:05.129+03:00ehwhy,

We had them replaced with white binders. A scrutineers job is to oversee without interfering with the integrity of the election. <br /><br />I am not aware of any evidence of cameras being an effective means of preserving the integrity of the vote. If it is then the Central Elections Committee should be responsible for it's oversight and implementation. Likud wouldn't be investing millions of shkalim to do the job of CEC unless they felt that they would get reasonable return on their investment. ehwhyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06436676108396672275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-69144344382466999882019-08-19T15:27:14.658+03:002019-08-19T15:27:14.658+03:00How many Arabs were convicted of election fraud?How many Arabs were convicted of election fraud?dlzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269900740743979382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-74085929406434625242019-08-19T15:03:49.745+03:002019-08-19T15:03:49.745+03:00how many people were convicted of your so called H...how many people were convicted of your so called Hareidi fraud in Beit Shemesh? <br />Avi, you know nothing but Chareidi bashing so of course it was...joshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-76314505428138428732019-08-19T14:47:44.215+03:002019-08-19T14:47:44.215+03:00it is to prevent Arab fraud, that doesnt help the ...it is to prevent Arab fraud, that doesnt help the Likud (or, that hurts the Likud).

This is not Haredi-bashing; this is a reference to the several municipalities who had to have a second election because the first was found to have been contaminated by fraud. IIRC, all of them were Arab and Haredi.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
