In Wikipedia, it was stated that
the following was taken from the Elections Department website
[22]:
"...ballot papers can be examined
only under strict conditions, and there are safeguards that make it
extremely difficult to find out how any particular voter voted.
After the count, all ballot papers and their counterfoils
have to be sealed in the Supreme Court vault for six months, after
which all the ballot papers and other election documents are
destroyed. During those six months, these documents can
only be retrieved by court order. The court will issue such an
order only if it is satisfied that a vote has been fraudulently
cast and the result of the election may be affected as a result.
Our courts have issued no such order since elections have
been held here since 1948."
The only problem in accepting these printed words at its face value
is that the POWER OF ONE has never shown any respect for the Law
which it has created.
The Attorney-General's Chambers even helping them to cover up for
any oversight - (as when during the 2001 Election, Ministers were
walking in and out of the Polling Station on Polling Day, when the
law clearly stipulated that all candidates should not be anywhere
within 100 meters from any Polling Station).
Even the treatment meted out towards judges that acquitted
opposition members - brought to the Courts by the POWER OF ONE -
clearly shows the disrespect towards the Judiciary.
However, what can the POWER OF ONE do to all 4.5 million
Singaporeans, IF everyone cast their votes in favor of the
Alternative Choices ?
Even if the POWER OF ONE has unauthorised access
to the ballot papers, all it can do is to collate information as to
the voting patterns of the various constituencies, which will
further fine tune their gerrymeandering schemes, in redrawing
boundaries, nit-picking the HDB blocks to dissipate the votes going
to the Alternative Choices.
