To "win" this election, you need to manipulate voter identification. That's why Mucheru is talking rubbish, they feel they will not win if identification is digital.

Forget about Mucheru talk and think of the reverse. A situation where you get to the polling station, technology cannot identify you but you are a bonafide voter. Don't you think you would have a right to have the exercise nullified?. Suppose there were tens of thousands with similar issues,would the exercise still qualify to be called fair? I think that is what Masukuma has been trying to hammer into us who know less about this issue but unfortunately, we are a people divided and therefore, we've allowed politicians to reason and think for for us,while we use our heads to carry our eyes and hair around. Bure kabisa!!

Don't know whether backup will bring about unfair ness.
what if these gadgets fail mainly in 'one's stronghold
s'?

they will fail in strongholds for sure. That's the only way to fight the apathy in your tribe. Make sure 80% vote even if they were drunk and at home asleep.

So, Mama mboga's fingerprint will not be recognised by the EVID but the BVR will not have a problem registering her ?

Tuache side-shows.

A contigency plan is crucial.

All parties and observors should be represented at the pollinng/counting stations.

Won't the back up data be derived from the electronic data. wont it be be verifiable!

what's all this hullabaloo!

in your understanding, what is the purpose of a backup, or say why do you use insurance.

back to your query, why the 3G point, never knew its only 3G that can fail but honestly, sticking to the bio-metric machines those are electronic gadgets, and of course they can fail, what makes the exercise sensitive is the time frame involved, hakuna the possibility of asking guys to come back latter.

personally I think the discussion should be on a strict well defined framework describing when the manual process can come in. Otherwise this issue of dismissing a backup process is just recipe for disaster.

This entire saga is akin to a dog chasing its tail.
The real issue is about lack of trust in IEBC and other institutions.
I would rather have a few dead voters voting than the electronic system collapsing leaving the country at crossroad.
RAO says we wait if the system collapses, just for how long? We want thae voting charade to end in one day so that we can back to our business.

By the way, how would the Biometric identification prevent people from voting several times? The manual register is usually cancelled, how does the Biometric record that I have already passed and thus if I come again I will be arrested? Don't tell me about the ink, that can always be 'arranged'

From beginning Cord seems childish and defeated. Their only option is to cry songs of war!!!!
They(Cord) put fingers in their asses when they started recruiting foreigners to tender for technology behind Govt and IEBC so that the same technology could be manipulated in their favour.
Could you imagine a lawyer like Orengo walking in with foreigners in a meeting for commissioners?
He was asked who are these?
Opposition has no chance in 2017 as majority seem going for Uhuruto they know than what we do not know.
Mudavadi will again screw Raila and Kalonzo. He will frighten Wiper and FordKenya
