Cope MP Deidre Carter says she ‘proved’ she could have voted five times in one hour Elections2019 2019Elections
The ‘indelible ink’ issue has never before plagued an SA election as it has this time around.
She says that after she became aware of how easily the Independent Electoral Commission of SA’s “indelible ink” came off her thumb , she proceeded to another voting station in Cape Town to see if she could get as far as being given another ballot paper to vote. Carter claims she was able to do all of this within the space of an hour from around 5pm on Wednesday.
The Cope MP, who is also her party’s Western Cape premier candidate, told journalists she had done all of this because she had been alerted to allegations that a group of EFF voters had been “high-fiving” each other earlier in the day for allegedly successfully voting more than once. The EFF has in turn made allegations against the ANC over the same issue in, particularly, North West.
