Hello, fellow mylotters. What can you say about this one? There has been different techniques like using the indelible ink, listing peoples name etc... I was surprised today in the market and in the "bargain" theres so many people there, it's like Christmas or feast. Why? people got money from yesterday's election. That's the truth. Almost all political candidates gave some of their money just to win.... Right? Politics? It's complicated... Well, we've just chosen the lesser evil...

Really? A Picture? How could they do that? in the middle of voting you will still take a picture of your ballot? Many people really need money, they're just taking it because they need it but hopefully that they have chosen to be wise. I know some people who accepted money but did not vote the one who gave the money... They will never know that, we had automated election and they did not require picture like you said.

how did your friend took the photo, as far as I understand, it's not allowed to bring a mobile, much more a camera inside any precinct.

Yeah it is said that there are still some that practices this tactics just to ensure he wins in the election. But more disgusting are those voters that allowed to sell them their right to choose. I think this will take some time to really make this election clean. For as long as voters chooses the wrong candidates for the wrong reasons we will continue on a cycle of corruption for the longest time.
