Gee, who woulda thunk it?
The discovery millions of extra ballot forms proves that President Robert Mugabe intends to rig the March 29 elections in his favor, Zimbabwe's main opposition party said Sunday.How come we cannot get any support here in the U.S. for dealing with this thug?Tendai Biti, secretary general of the Movement for Democratic Change, told CNN that leaked correspondence from the election commission showed it had asked the company that is printing paper ballots to make nine million.
However, the African country has an electorate of 5.7 million registered voters, he said.
Also, 600,000 postal paper ballots were requested for soldiers and police officers, Biti said.
Postal ballots are usually requested for civil servants serving abroad, and the total number for soldiers and police in Zimbabwe add up to no more than 50,000, he said.
