Proof of Electoral Fraud by Electronically Generated Evidence

Abraham Tamir

How difficult is it to prove electoral fraud by using e-generated evidence? An election as a democratic process of the people choosing their leaders by majority is not perfect in every sense owing to the devious acts of party candidates to bend the laws to favour them in cases of electoral malpractice. There may be tons of evidences to prove that a particular act has been done, do these evidences hold the same weight on admissibility as those generated or produced using computers? These are questions and issues tackled in this piece. It gives a detailed outline on the importance of establishing evidences generated by electronically means and conditions to satisfy in establishing them.
