No one is guilty, but in court, the theft of votes in Doboj would take place on the same model at almost all polling stations – by corresponding votes who did not exit the polls that were not deleted from the voter list.
Almost five years after the annulment of local elections in Doboj 2020. they continue to last the trials for the largest case of the election scam that dealt with domestic judiciary. 67 indictments were filed against 350 persons, and the Basic Court in Doboj, according to the latest information, brought 27 acquittals for 139 persons and only one conditional conviction against two persons. Most verdicts were made according to the same form: election scams have been proven, but there is no evidence that polling station committee members are for that.
In 22 Trial Judgments, which analyzed Transparency International in BiH, the Prosecution in all cases has succeeded in material evidence and witness testimonies to prove that the constituency of citizens most often repeated two scenarios:
By voting on behalf of voters who did not go to the polls – most often those living abroad,
By voting on behalf of dead persons who have not been deleted from the voter list.
The trial was preceded by the annulment of the elections by the CEC, followed by criminal charges, investigations and indictments. Suspicion occurred for a record turnout of almost 70%, and at certain polling stations According to the CEC calculus It was found that every 50 seconds voted a voter.
After re-counting the votes, the CEC entered the proceedings in which graphological expertise of voter signatures and their comparison with the IDEEA data were performed, and on that occasion was determined that Kljotovreno 10-20% of voters signatures. According to this find, it is about counterfeiting similar or same signatures by one person for multiple rubrics on different names or adding initials in multiple rubrics.
What was proven in court?
The Prosecution, in most cases analyzed BiH, proved to theft of one to seven votes at the polling station, in a way that it was carried out by witnesses that they or their close relatives did not go to the polls and that their signatures were counterfeit.
Proving made it difficult for a number of women whose voices did not come to BiH for years, police could not find them at the address, and the testimony of neighbor could not be accepted as proof that they did not vote. Likewise, the data of the border police that these persons did not enter BiH in that period could not be evidence in court, because there is no obligation to record every crossing the border.
Therefore, the relevant evidence was mostly the testimonies of voters who clearly confirmed that they did not go to the polls. Also, evidence in cases where they were voting on deaths and where it could be clearly confirmed that death was reported before the election. The Prosecution, therefore, in all judgments managed to prove this phenomenon, and in one of them states:
From the presented evidence of the Prosecution, the testimony of the Prosecution Witness VA, GS and DG that they did not exit the Evidence’s Evidence Certificate, proved that the mentioned 5 people did not sign in the mentioned rubrics, but someone else did, but it was done by someone else, cited in a judgment.
Almost the same conclusion is repeated in most verdicts. In some cases, the Court rejected the proposal for graphological expertise to determine whether the members of the polling stations placed disputed signatures. In some cases, they did not agree to give handwriting, and it was considered that there was no proven work for which you are charged.
Who’s guilty?
Due to all the competent court, the Prosecution did not prove that polling stations were guilty, because anyone was signed in the elections, and everything was justified by the fact that the elections had been difficult for the voters.
In most verdicts, the Court states that the fact that there was a forgery of the election results cannot automatically mean the criminal responsibility of the members of the election administration.
The Prosecution has not proved a member of the polling station committee, which allowed this person to be signed, nor to the circumstance of the Prosecution, and all this when voters must carry protective masks covering most of the face, holding distance, due to the distance The mentioned Rules of COVID, stands in one of the verdicts.
The Court considered that it was quite possible that “some other person’s approximate characteristics that did not vote in the name of the same, without the members of the polling stations even know, let alone say that everyone together and wished.”
Also, according to the Court of Understanding, the fact remains the fact that the election result was changed, as it is “impossible to determine which candidate, the said votes.
What did the observers do?
The Court further argues the judgments of the testimonies of individual witnesses that were observers on the day of elections, as well as the fact that none of the observers from various parties had comments on the election process in numerous places. The fact that a large number of observers were not allowed to enter the polling stations was not the subject of proof, and the additional argument is and that the members of the polling stations are proposed from “opposing political options”.
Thus, in one of the verdicts as an argument in favor of the accused, “five members of the polling station committee, ie the PB in front of the SDA-SBiH-HB, in front of the SPS, is in front of Gojković Nenad-independent candidate, ie the independent candidate, ie the political opposing options”.
However, in these conclusions, the absurdity is completely ignored that most observers and members of the polling stations did representatives of options that did not receive any vote. Namely, 85 entities reported to the polls, and 66 of them had less than 10 votes and their intention was obviously taking place in polling stations. Therefore, it is not clear from which the conclusion was performed that the options “opposed” were mentioned and that they were not part of the same pre-agreed game because they are e.g. Sekulić Slavko and Gojković, Nenad, in the entire Doboj, had one vote in the repeated elections.
At one polling station, where it was proven that they voted died faces, the SNSD observer “did not notice anything unusual.” On the other, where the people who were abroad were proven, the “Movement of the Bridge 21”, allegations that the SNSD has noticed that in “the votes of the polling board in favor of the voter, and the voting books have inserted subsequently.
PROPERTIES OF THE POSITION LIST
It is this fact that the entire election fraud played before the eyes of observers and members of the polling stations, which nominally belonged to different political options, opens a number of other issues and further undermines the integrity of the election process. The testimonies are evident that there was more possibilities – that the disputed votes were corresponded after the counting, that a large number of persons went through the process of identifying identity and voted in another’s name.
CEC data on 10-20% of signature that could be determined with certainty that they are forged illustrates the extent of the election scam, and who were the principals and organizers in these actions were not the subject of proof. However, verdicting that the lack of election list is the main source of election irregularities, because in addition to the data from the parent books, the fact that tens of thousands of people leave BiH each year, at the same time, opens additional space for abuse.
SAME JUDGMENTS Open other issues such as those whether the persons in charge of organizing electoral frauds have the institutions before the Center for the Voter List. These examples show the necessity of introducing election technologies, primarily in electronic voters through fingerprint, as well as the vote-counting scanner to return the trust of citizens in the election process.
In addition, it is crucial for the judiciary to prosecute the examination of the exam and requires the responsibility of the planning and organization of these acts, because the members of the polling stations were generally implemented, whose name are not prosecuted, transmitted, transmitted Doboj Info.
