So wanted to post a pic but my app broken and need to re-install.. but it’s hard to predict when majority of voters vote not counted

Ie in NC 54% stations counted (guessing rural, smaller stations) BUT 153k votes counted vs 626k registered. Ie at 65% turn out you would see 406k votes.. so major skew likely coming.

So I guess everyone is waiting to see how the results are going before they make a loud noise about the irregularities?

But you would have thought they were going to perform so well listening to some forumites here, some even going as to compare them to the unexpected EFF rise.

700 votes out of 1 million. So 700 idi amin's out of 1 million - that doesn't concern you at all?

I'm curious to see if their leaders stay in politics and try to grow a proper movement. I predict they’ll get bored/disillusioned and go back to business. If I am wrong and they actually invest the effort to growing a real party, I may one day vote for them.

Most people I saw had the old ID books and got a IEC2019 stamp in them. I had a smart ID so no stamp. I would have thought the scanning of the barcode (which both forms of ID have), would be the obvious registering point where once scanned, that specific ID cannot be used again on voting day at any station (centrally linked system?).

If this is not the case then there exists a big loophole where smart ID holders can go and vote more than once at other stations. If you really wanted to, getting past the ink on the finger is relatively easy by either washing off, sanding it off, covering with makeup etc because that seems to be the only indicator that you have voted, seeing as the crossing out of your name would only be effective at the station that you were registered at?

My old ID book was not stamped.

I would have thought if they are going to get anything it will be either in the WC or Gauteng, so far nothing.

They won't even get a single seat the way things are going. But their dumbass leader was apparently confident enough in their chances to tell the media to fsck off.

What irregularities? You go first. People have already complained the ink wash off too easily and possible to do multiple votes.

There is zero chance the DA takes another province. They'll most likely keep the Cape.

Ridiculous as it may sound, you might have a point here. I reckon zupta faction (basically EFF, isn't it) is still driving IEC (and country) in the background and once ANC drops below 50%, zuptas can have coalition with anc and control next government yet again.

Nope. A good chunk of DA supporters think they live in Europe/America and vote like people over there. Gonna see shyte if the DA ever get klapped out of the Western Cape ruling spot because of their silly voting patterns.

That being said the DA didn't do themselves any favours with a series of spectacular own goals over the past few years. From Zille's twitter rants alienating black youth, the De Lille debacle, CT water problems etc.

2019 should have been the DA's year but they bottled it.

Their pandering to identity politics cost them more votes.
 
The WC is counting faster than the other provinces, expect some significant % shifts as the others catch up.
 
ANC at 53% currently. Would be awesome is they go under 50.

ZACP is in the top half. 22nd at the moment above BLF and many others.
 
So I try not to put too much stock in these early figures. From last election I recall the more affluent areas count faster than rural and densely populated townships so the number jump away from parties like DA and FF+ towards the end of the vote counting as the township votes come in. Still, FF+ looks like they grew. ZACP not looking great, how many votes again to get a seat in parlaiment?

EFF for now under 10%. Would be so happy if they stay under 10% but not holding my breath. DA doing OK but they definitely lost ground in some areas.
 
Gotta love SAfricans. Ready to give the ANC another overwhelming majority after they've fvcked this place up solidly for the past 10-years.

With the DA and the rest so far behind already and the rural votes usually coming in last and inflating the ANC, it is as you were.

Zombies.
