00:00Colombian President Gustavo Petro warned on Monday about the risks of electoral fraud less than two weeks before the legislative
00:08elections.
00:09The President has confirmed that citizens' personal data must be in the hands of the state and not of private
00:15entities.
00:16This warning comes after the company Thomas Gregg & Sons, owned by the Felipe Fernando and Camilo Bautista brothers,
00:23has once again been awarded the contract through a public tender according to the Registry for the Logistics of the
00:31upcoming election process.
00:32In this context, the historical pact sectors have also insisted that public control mechanism over electoral processes must be threatening.
00:53If there are no challenges at the polling station, the judges do not count the votes, they do not open
00:59the ballot boxes afterwards, and only the election witness can challenge the results.
01:09Then, if you combine the ADS call center software for preliminary counting with the judges, who cannot open the ballot
01:17boxes, and with the electoral witnesses,
01:19it turns out that the electoral council, especially the registry, limits the number of electoral witnesses, which should be 123
01:27,000 per party.
01:35If that does not happen, the parties cannot challenge the results.
01:39And then the fraud in the preliminary count carried out by ADS remains valid, because the ballot boxes are not
01:45reopened unless they have been challenged.
01:47And that is how fraud is carried out in Colombia.
