Political analyst says vote rigging claims need solid proof
A political analyst says parties making vote rigging claims would need to produce solid evidence to prove them.
Precious Lugayeni has been commenting after the EFF in Western Cape alleged irregularities in the vote capturing process.
The party's asked the IEC to investigate.
"What is difficult about the allegation of vote rigging, is that it is difficult to prove that the votes were rigged yourself. The person who is making the objection has to make sure that the evidence is there to prove that the votes were rigged. So, that objection should be raised at the time the rigging is happening."
The red berets claim votes stolen from them and other parties were handed to the ANC.

The allegations were made just hours before the IEC's deadline for objections last night.
Lugayeni says this step is part of the electoral process.
"The IEC has run a lot of elections. I’m sure there would be no new objection that they have never dealt with in the past. They will put their checks and balances, they will put their tools into these objections and then they will come up with a reply or a response that will satisfy everybody.
"All elections have objections it's not unusual."
