CARTER CENTER – ELECTION MONITORING
ELMO, the Carter Center’s open source ELection MOnitoring software system, is transforming election observation processes around the world. Embedded in a simple e-device, ELMO allows observation teams to more quickly and efficiently gather, submit, and analyze procedures — for example, polling station openings, voting operations, counting, and tabulation — to determine whether an election is calm, credible, and transparent.
Watch this video to see how The Carter Center used ELMO technology in Tunisia’s recent presidential elections.

The calls from various circles are for the cleaning up a real nasty campaign. Call again. Guyanese (and foreigners) can call again unsuccessfully, as one struggling, increasingly desperate side is not listening. For a frenzied PPP has accumulated a record of practiced malice that is premeditated and calculated; there is no stopping it now. This is the damning picture that the public evidence reveals about the campaign run by the ruling PPP. It is one that is reckless, out-of-control, and dangerous to all society.

They are more measured, more disciplined. The combined opposition, though under tremendous duress, has refused to be goaded, or trap itself, or respond in kind. Continue reading
A Day and Night-Mare – Netanyahu’s government in Israel

BINYAMIN NETANYAHU seems to be detested now by everyone. Almost as much as his meddling wife, Sarah’le.
Six weeks ago, Netanyahu was the great victor. Contrary to all opinion polls, he achieved a surprise victory at the last moment, winning 30 seats in the 120-member Knesset, leaving the Labour Party (re-branded “The Zionist Camp”) well behind him.
The extra seats did not come from the Left. They came from his nearest competitors, the Rightist parties.
However, it was a great personal triumph. Netanyahu was on top of his world. Sarah’le was radiant. Netanyahu left no doubt that he was now the master, and that he was determined to order things according to his wishes. Continue reading
