Jonglei state referendum body dismiss over-voting reports
January 25, 2011 (BOR) – Jonglei State High Committee (SHC) for the referendum has dismissed as “false and baseless” reports that more people voted than registered to do so in Bor county during the 9-15 January self-determination polls.
In a statement received by the Sudan Tribune on Tuesday, John Boloc, the SHC public outreach officer said 53 people who registered, did not vote.
“Bor county has registered 68,675 voters in total. During polling, 68, 622 voters cast their votes,” said Boloc in the statement.
Boloc blasted analysis by Associated Press (AP) which gave several cases of over-voting occurring in ten of South Sudan’s 79 counties, using information available on SSRC’s website. Bor county was cited as one of the problem areas, where 720 votes over the number of registered voters were counted.
“The state high committee management wonders where have the AP obtained their data of 720…..?” Boloc said, adding that, “the statement is categorically false and baseless.”

Dear Readers:
DINKA as individuals and also as group are suffering from inferiority and ADD..(Attention Deficit Disorder. that’s what been happening to them all over the globe including here in the United States..telling ordinary Americans, their ethnicity even if when they not are asked to identify as such. you see, Nuer, don’t go around yelling for every attention as to how great and what their ethnicity is.Because they have been written about for ages, they didn’t asked for white man attention, rather white-man came to them and decide to write about their superiority over any tribe in Sudan Full stop.!!

SHC reassure people mind, There were alot confusion on AP reports which was to jupeodize the results of Jonglei State.
Journalist needs to the cautious on search statement. it could have inflamatory and adverse effect on refferreundum team and committee.
Clarification makes things workand we move together to built our nation -Republic and Federal State of KUSH instead of SOUTH SUDAN AGAIN. I don’t need to call SUDANESE again.
Bravo to all Ten States especially to Jonglei State for standing firm. Earlier Sudan Government sited Uppernile, Northern Bhar-El Gahazal, Lake state with Jonglei State as risky areas of which no Refereundum should be conducted, but People prove to them that we are not at War within and with ourselves, It was you NCP who mingled in our affairs to kill us,
