The delay in the provisional scrutiny of the provincial elections in Córdoba and the claims for technical and logistical failures of the companies contracted by the provincial Electoral Justice for the elections were the arguments of a serious reproach of the head of Transparency InternationalDelia Ferreira Rubio.

in dialogue with chain 3the woman questioned the Turing system used for the transmission of data to prepare the provisional scrutiny: “When the Electoral Tribunal came out to say that it was going to apply artificial intelligence and briefly told what it was going to apply, it was simply a scanning system old”.

“It’s a total embarrassment”, he reproached, and added: “A system to test cannot be applied in a top-level election, such as that of governor of a province, as the electoral judge said.”

In this sense, he said that the electoral authorities “have to be aware of their responsibility” in such a close election.

The definitive scrutiny of Córdoba will begin on Wednesday and would last a week

“After the fiasco the other day, with all the consequences for the credibility of the elections, the tranquility of all voters. Many very angry people go to vote and then they say ‘sorry, but I can’t give you the result’, but we are all paying for it”, he continued.

Ferreira Rubio suggested that the contract with the Ocasa and MSA companies “must be reviewed” and recommended that “this system or any other cannot be applied to experiment in an election of this type.”

“My impression is that here there was nothing planned or nothing checked and nothing controlled. That is why I asked, and it is not an innocent question, if we are only talking about inefficiency, ”she criticized.

And he closed with a piece of information: “It has been 60% of the total cost of the election that has been taken to the company”.
