    "content": "That section states thus: “For purposes of a presidential election, the Commission shall electronically transmit and physically deliver the tabulated results of an election for the president from a polling station to the constituency tallying centre and to the national tallying centre.” So, what the Judge observed then is first is that there is no requirement for the results to be transmitted in any prescribed form, which was an essential requirement in the deleted subsection. This was also an essential safeguard that guaranteed verifiability, transparency and accountability of the election results transmitted from polling centres, to the constituency and national tallying centre. This is made even more troubling by the fact that results will also be physically delivered to the constituency and national tallying centre, but in no particular prescribed form. This not only opens the results to possible adulteration and manipulation, but also mischief. The amendment obviously reverses the gains the country had made in electoral reforms including results transmitted in a particular form."
