I don't think pple understood the scope and breath of this operation. Nor the impact. We were up against all the state aparatus and we caused them so much discomfort until they took off their mask and resorted to sheer & blatant force. We audited the voters roll until they realized they could no longer survive on ghost voters. They started moving people to polling stations far away from their homes and refused with the voters roll. To counter that we built the CredibleVote app where you could check your polling station. They allowed double candidates, to counter that we created the Whatsapp bot where you could check who your CCC candidate was. We mapped all polling stations and created a communications mesh that used Meshtastic, satellite phones & lora-internet gateways coupled to mobile Starlink powered collation groups. Right before elections, they added 2000 new polling stations mostly in farms and some of them were non-existent. We analyzed the delimitation and it was very clear that it wasunconstitutional and skewed so that ZANU PF retains power. Rural constituencies had an average of 22000 voters while urban constituencies had 33000. ZANU could retain parliament even with lesser voters. Still, our interventions made it extremely uncomfortable for the regime to the extend that on election day, they had to resort to brute tactics like not providing ballot papers or intimidation with FAZ. If we had not intervened, ZANU PF would have picked 12 Harare seats. Instead, we denied them that opportunity. That is the reason they had to now go with the blatantly & egregiously stupid idea of Tshabangu so the could force through their amendments to the constitution. The beauty of all this is that we ran this operation for 2 years with very limited fincances, just volunteers wanting and yearning for change. It was unfortunate that we were dealing with a rogue military regime that cares little about democracy. In terms of what Zanda writes here, I provided an excel sheet that hass all the polling stations that received their support. We also published the results from the 10 400 polling stations that we collated in just 48hrs using less than 50 volunteers. We could not dislodge this regime but at least we proved that elections in Zimbabwe, run by the military, in a military state can never be democratic. I wait for those with the guts to kill, we did our best with bare hands!
