The public opinion polls prior to the election showed the Radicals leading Tadic’s party by 1 or 2 percent points, yet according to the latest information I received from RTS (Radio Televizija Srbija) in Serbia, Tadic’s party was leading the Radicals by 39% to 28%. Looks some kind of hanky-panky was going on, like stuffing ballot boxes, destroying ballots, not counting the votes properly, hiding or destroying ballot boxes, intimidating or obstructing voters, bribing people to vote a certain way, bribing people to stay home and therefore not vote, early closing of voting stations, telling uneducated and uninformed people they were not eligible to vote and/or causing distractions to take people’s attention away from voting. Of course, there may be other possibilities besides the ones I mentioned.
This discrepancy sticks out like a tree in a desert. The EU and the pro-European Serbian parties obviously have a vested interest in winning this election. And I do not doubt for one minute that they could find a way or ways to rig it.
If the final results show such a vast discrepancy, anyone with common sense and basic intelligence would know that the election was rigged, assuming that you allow + or – 3 or 4 points (usually 3) at most for polling errors, which is the generally accepted standard. I have only seen an AP report that bases its prediction of Tadic victory on the vote count of an “independent” monitoring group. Who is this independent monitoring group? Could this be troll Jimmy Carter and his little “busy bodies” or maybe a bunch from the US state department. If so, these people should not even be allowed to enter the country at election time. They are highly accomplished in the techniques of election fraud and I would shoot them on sight rather than allow them to touch a single damn ballot.
