haha, no need to worry about loosing friendship. @
danish falcon is another PML-N supporter / voter who is my friend in real life. I just love PML-N voters, its lovely to argue with them sometimes..
About NA-68, the issue was raised because of ECP's own figures. And this sounds like lamest excuse to save Nawaz Sharif. Remember, IK never demanded recount of votes in NA-68, he just always quoted it as an example. Whatever the reason was, it is clear that the errors did occur in results or counting, they were deliberate or not is another issue.
Now about election rigging:
Lets just forget about NA-68 and come to Lahore in NA-128 (PP-160) whole election results gone missing when Election Tribunal asked returning officer to do votes recount:
Election Records in NA-128 Lahore and PP-160 gone missing
Now come to NA-122 (PP-147), Lahore where IK lost against Ayyaz Sadiq. Election commission has opened only 6 polling station's votes for recount. Here are some amazing errors:
1) Surprisingly 7 bags came out instead of actual 6 (one bag full of votes was extra
).
2) 3 - 4 bags didn't had any electoral lists on them
3) 3 - 4 bags didn't had any counterfoils on them
4) All this happened even before thumbs verification.
5) Unlike NA-68, margin of defeat in PP-147 is just 6000 votes, while 1250 votes are identified null and void in just 6 opened polling stations. There were roughly 100+ polling stations in NA-122. Now do rest of the maths yourself.

More rigging proof comes through: Dr Shireen Mazari
Now please pray tell me what should we do if in out of 6 legal bags, one is extra, 3 - 4 bags are null and void because of no electoral lists and counterfoils? Who is responsible? What is the credibility of results in this constituency?
