The demands for counting votes in the legislative elections of March 13 arose from different political sectors of the country, however, initially the verification of the counting in several tables was requested by the Historical Pact coalition, which through its oversight managed to find a number of votes that assured it several seats in the Congress of the Republic. Evidence of anomalies and failures in the knowledge of votes was given thanks to a tool developed by a team established by this political group, which managed to detect irregularities in 29,000 months of the country.
Noticias Uno, he was able to learn in detail what was the composition of this team and the working model that was implemented, in order to detect the failures that violated his political participation, although the controversy arose because it was the Historical Pact that recovered the most seats, all because it was apparently the only party that went beyond electoral oversight, since they set up a digital tool that allowed them to know in real time different failures in the counting, which directly affected them.
The formation of this work team was made thanks to three lawyers and three systems engineers, who designed software based on an algorithm that immediately detected three alarm incidents regarding anomalies that could occur at the polling stations, since they clearly know the official report of the polling stations the parties and the country, through the registry office platform, in addition to the spokesperson in each voting position.
The first warning that this tool gave was the growth of voters in relation to the number they commonly voted in a polling place, since it was considered quite suspicious that in some places where abstention was noticeable in previous elections, from one moment to another the numbers would change.
The excess of votes for a specific candidate or party was constituted as the second warning factor in the face of a controversial management in the counting, since a possible manipulation or nullity of votes was foreseen for a particular coalition.
Finally, the last and most important warning sign had to see when there was no vote in favor of the Historical Pact at the polls, this was one of the anomalies that this party immediately denounced before the competent authorities and the general public.
The process was developed as soon as the digital data was obtained, after which, the team of lawyers carried out challenge formats in real time to submit them later to the electoral authorities, this as an action to complain about the inconsistencies detected in the process. Together with the electoral witnesses who were at the polling stations and the team of lawyers, more than 160,000 complaints were established.
The main complaint was presented by candidate Gustavo Petro, stating: “All our lawyers at the counting tables must take care of the votes of both the Covenant and the Citizen Force. It is a fact that tens of thousands of votes have disappeared at homogeneous jury tables. At least 29,000 tables.” .
The request to count votes has delayed the final conformation of the Congress of the Republic for the period from 2022 to 2026. One of the problems that were mainly encountered in these elections has to do with the poor handling of the E-14 format and the lack of training of delegates who were at the polls. For this reason, both authorities and political parties have invited the models to be strengthened for the presidential elections, in such a way as to avoid those kinds of setbacks that call into question the Colombian democracy itself.
