We al suspected that the Zim elections would be rigged but a slip-up in reporting by the state broadcasting corporation gave opposition groups the means to calculate how Mugabe's people did it.
"Sokwanele said the fraud was revealed when the turnout figures as of 7.30pm for 72 out of Zimbabwe's 120 constituencies were mistakenly read out on state television and radio by officials from the electoral commission. That meant the group could compare the original turnout figures with the much higher number of votes reported in the later results. Assuming Zanu-PF would not use 'ghost voter' ballots to increase the opposition share of the vote, the difference would be the extra votes the party gave to itself."
