Call For Osce Election Monitors To Oversee Lisbon Referendum Amid Concern About Electoral Fraud

category national | eu | press release author Wednesday September 30, 2009 23:00author by Fiachra Ó Luainauthor email fiachraforeurope at gmail dot comauthor phone 00353863193567 Report this post to the editors

PRESS RELEASE - 30th September 2009

There has been a formal call for the OSCE to oversee the Irish Lisbon referendum amid growing concerns that the result of the Irish referendum may be manipulated by postal vote fraud. A source within the Dublin City Council has informed the former MEP candidate Fiachra Ó Luain of efforts by the head of the Franchise department to actively register residents of retirement homes, prisons and even the army.

The source has said that the head of the Franchise department has unsupervised and unregulated access to the postal votes and suggests that there may be concerted efforts to influence the outcome of the Lisbon referendum by manipulation of the postal vote system. This corroborates the fact that the ‘People’s Movement’, who are calling for a No vote, received notice from various county councils of the issue of postal votes the day after they had been sent out.

PRESS RELEASE

30th September 2009

*Call for OSCE election monitors to oversee Lisbon Referendum amid growing
concern about electoral fraud*

There has been a formal call for the OSCE to oversee the Irish Lisbon
referendum amid growing concerns that the result of the Irish referendum may
be manipulated by postal vote fraud. A source within the Dublin City Council
has informed the former MEP candidate Fiachra Ó Luain of efforts by the head
of the Franchise department to actively register residents of retirement
homes, prisons and even the army. The source has said that the head of the
Franchise department has unsupervised and unregulated access to the postal
votes and suggests that there may be concerted efforts to influence the
outcome of the Lisbon referendum by manipulation of the postal vote system.
This corroborates the fact that the ‘People’s Movement’, who are calling for
a No vote, received notice from various county councils of the issue of
postal votes the day after they had been sent out.

Earlier this week Emmett Stagg TD, stated that 600 polling cards had been
received by international residents who are not legally entitled to vote in
the referendum. This compounds suspicions that there are deliberate efforts
to alter the result of the Lisbon referendum. The Gael poll that was
accurate to within 0.5% in 2008 puts the No vote at 59%, contradicting the
result of the less extensive Red C poll.

During the June 2009 European elections, 3000 first preference votes were
found to have been misappropriated from Fiachra Ó Luain to another candidate
in the Ireland North West constituency during a recheck of a random 10% of
the votes. The Garda Siochána (Irish police) were asked to investigate how
this occurred by the Independent candidate Mr. Fiachra Ó Luain who suspects
that this was not an inadvertent mistake. The fact that the police responded
by putting the same Garda who had been in charge of the election count in charge of the investigation, and the fact that the Returning Officer in charge of the count has “refused” to give a statement has raised further suspicion of foul play on behalf of the authorities.

Following a complaint to the local Superintendent, Ó Luain later wrote to the Garda Commissioner Fachtna Murphy and Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government Mr. John Gormley requesting a new, full and transparent Garda investigation, with the full co-operation of the Returning Officer. As of yet there has been no explanation as to why after three and a half months here has literally no investigation into how thousands of votes can be misallocated. In a bid to draw public attention to the issue of mass vote misallocation and an apparent Garda cover-up, Ó Luain made a YouTube video that can be seen at: www.youtube.com/fiachraforeurope.

Following this the 28 year old Independent politician received information about deliberate attempts to manipulate the postal vote system within the Franchise department of the Dublin City Council and perhaps in other city councils too.
