Too close to call... 50/50 a possibility

Presidential election runoff... the polls were quiet, relaxed and relatively efficient. Sierra Leone is never without "challenges" however... and there were lots. But, on the whole, things were good.

It's not exactly technologically sound... but who needs technology when it can be hacked??? Or so some people thought. Everything must be done "manually" according to a court order issued on the National Electoral Commission... a bit of nonsense... but we're so paranoid here that counting one by one by one by one... and then carrying the boxes straight to a headquarters - bristling with guns and military-types - is the only way we can do this without trickery and deceit.





The Presidential runoff in Sierra Leone

A "mostly", "generally", "sort of" peaceful, efficient and transparent election runoff.
