And it is strange that the problems reported by supervisors are not communicated to the Lexton\/Artes Gra\u0301ficas consortium that has technicians to repair the malfunctions, which adds to the suspicion of manipulation of the equipment for political ends.<\/p>\n<p>For example, there were allegedly major problems taking photographs and recording fingerprints. Failures in capturing images and prints do happen, but they are related to the quality of light and possible glare on the skin of the voter\u2019s face because it is oily. The same happens with fingerprints when the fingers are damp or oiled. But when digital capture fails, mobiles have the manual capture system. The two systems cannot fail simultaneously. In other words, in case of failure of automatic capture, it is recommended to use the manual system.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the brigades were instructed that in case of image capture failures, they should recommend the voter to pass a cloth or towel on the face, or even their hands, as a solution.<\/p>\n<p>What was happening is that the brigadistas purposely did not resort to manual capture or recommend voters to pass a towel or cloth on their cheeks to clean the glare from their skin.<\/p>\n<p>The CIP Bulletin\u2019s investigation reveals that mobiles have few problems and none of them are related to what is always reported. The most common problems with these machines have to do with overheating or manufacturing defects or else software or hardware problems. All cases are less than 1%. In other words, they are insignificant. According to the specialist, if the fault is in the software, the repair is done in minutes or hours and never lasts a day, contrary to what is reported. If the problem is a hardware one, there is also a guarantee of immediate substitution.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the problems presented by the supervisors during the voter registration had nothing to do with those that are common in this type of technology. Many of these problems can only be<\/p>\n<p>Many of these problems can only occur in situations of bad connections or by disconnection of cables, either by mistake or on purpose. The specialist we have been quoting stresses that no problem can take more than a day without being solved. He finds it strange that there are breakdowns that last for weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The CIP Bulletin knows that the central STAE, the one in Maputo City, and the one in Matola had spare equipment to replace them in the event of a breakdown at any point. In fact, 42 mobiles were distributed over the last two weeks to the central and northern provinces..<\/p>\n<p>The argument presented by STAE in Tete that some machines showed images of hyenas is, for the specialist, an example of exaggeration in the manipulation of equipment. According to him, in none of the 161 countries did the machines show images of animals.<\/p>\n<p>Observers reported 25% of registration posts with equipment or supply problems, but it now appears that most of the \u201cproblems\u201d were not reported to STAE or Lexton\/Artes Gra\u0301fica, and were instead intentional and organised manipulation of the equipment to block registration of voters from opposition parties.<\/p>\n<p>Messages exchanged in the WhatsApp group \u201cBeira Supervisors\u201d and in Riba\u0301ue\u0300 and Matola show how to manipulate the registration equipment, and are being used to prevent voter registration in areas of significant opposition voters.<\/p>\n<p>WhatsApp messages between supervisors and the district director of STAE in Beira allow us to conclude that a large part of the breakdowns are manipulated because the pattern of breakdowns follows this guidance.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Supervisor Linete asks her colleagues to standardise their machine-handling techniques. She asks them to follow the technique she is using of informing undocumented voters that \u201cthe machine does not recognize witnesses and ballots, it is the machine system\u201d and not her. Then the voter has no choice but to give up, aware that \u201cthe problem is the machine\u201d and not the supervisor.<\/p>\n<p>Another supervisor explains the other technique he uses: \u201cat the end of each citizen\u2019s registration, the computer first asks to record. Once the recording is complete, the next step is to print, just double-click on the image in the corner\u201d. They do not explain what happens after the double click, but it is certainly a technique that benefits Frelimo, because in the following comment, Supervisor Jose acknowledges that \u201cyour experience is good, and thanks to that double click we are reaching one hundred and something (voters)\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The third technique is explained by supervisor JB when he states that after the Frelimo inspectors, with whom he coordinates, warned him that the higher number of voters in the queue \u201cwas not ours\u201d, \u201cI turned off the machine and only started operating it again when the situation benefited us\u201d. He acknowledges that he made the decision unilaterally which could have cost him dearly. But \u201cfortunately now we have this support\u201d from the director.<\/p>\n<p>Zi\u0301lia Nagimo has a different technique from the other supervisors: \u201cIn our post, when it is ours (referring to a Frelimo voter), we witness in silence: the supervisor and the operator, or the two operators, which is me and the typist, so as not to flag\u201d as opposition.<\/p>\n<p>The district director of STAE in Beira congratulates his colleagues, whom he calls \u201cfamily\u201d, because \u201cthe enemy [the opposition] is already afflicted, but we need to continue to attack\u201d. And he orders the supervisors to \u201caccept witnesses and ballot papers\u201d only if this is to benefit Frelimo. In response, JB reconfirms: \u201cTherefore, if it is to favour our people, I will resume the practice\u201d. Supervisor JB thanked his director for his guidance, and said, \u201cIt was worth the endorsement (of the director), because in fact I had already stopped accepting witnesses [to identify people registering, as allowed in the law] after noticing that the only ones who brought people without documents were the MDM and Renamo inspectors and the secretaries of the neighbourhood, unit and blocks\u201d who in Beira are MDM and not Frelimo. According to Supervisor JB, the secretaries of neighbourhoods, units and quarters \u201cwere almost already camped outside the registration post\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He announced that in addition to having abolished, on his own initiative, the witnesses and ballots, he had also already taken another decision to prevent the registration of opposition voters: rejecting the voter cards of individuals not from Beira. He only accepted them if they were to benefit Frelimo.<\/p>\n<p>JB proudly reports to the group that \u201cThe enemy has already realised that in my post it is impossible, so much so that the floods have decreased and I have noticed the flow of residents from the constituency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In another communication, JB informs the director that the floods are decreasing because they [opposition voters] have realised that they will not register by these two ways [witnesses and notes]\u201d and throws a suggestion to his director: \u201cbut we can relax as we have sure information that the floods will resume, but this time they will an bring ID application receipt. So they are applying for IDs en masse. The enemy is cunning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The blocking of opposition voters ended up affecting Frelimo voters as well, confused with those of opposition parties. This worried supervisor Mateus Capondo, which made him warn others to strengthen collaboration with Frelimo party inspectors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have supervisors who are rotating comrades in the census posts because of a lack of knowledge of where they come from and also I think because of a lack of communication,\u201d reveals Mateus Capondo who reports that he has received \u201cfive comrades leaving from another post.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis type of incident can happen\u201d because \u201cin this type of cleaning [of opposition voters], one is always going to get away, especially when the supervisor does not know ours from the area where he or she is based\u201d. And he suggests that \u201cyou have to communicate a lot with the supervisor and pay a lot of attention\u201d. She warned that this exercise \u201cisn\u2019t easy, but it\u2019s possible\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Gisela Patri\u0301cio developed the \u201csleeping on the computer\u201d technique. But, before explaining what the technique consists of, she says that \u201cin the first few hours\u201d, her census post \u201cwas \u201cfull\u201d or in a group in our favour, but around 2pm the scenario changed\u201d and the queue was full of opposition voters. To block them \u201cI asked the inspector to go out and check the queue to make sure if they were ours or not\u201d. The inspector complied. On his return, the inspector informed the supervisor that \u201cmost of them were not ours\u201d. So \u201cI sent the typist to sleep on the computer. I mean, taking more time to register a voter, even though I knew there was one and another of us in the queue\u201d. In the end, he said he had asked the inspector to go and identify \u201cour comrades to come tomorrow, at the first hour\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>She ends the message by saying that the technique had an effect because \u201cin my post, many people return (home) without registering\u201d. And she swears that if it is to help Frelimo \u201cI will do it as many times as necessary\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this technique, in other posts, in some districts, mobiles were allegedly malfunctioning when, in fact, they were fully operational. They were used in the dead of night to register voters. The most obvious case was in Riba\u0301ue\u0300 district, where two machines from the town-hall posts were removed to register residents from outside the municipal boundaries. Supervisors claimed that the two machines were broken and the brigade had stopped registering for a week due to alleged machine breakdowns. An identical scenario occurred in the city of Matola, where the machines were reported broken down when, in fact, they were being used during the night, until around 11pm, and on several days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
