PRD president Miguel Vargas Maldonado complained yesterday that some 366,528 PLD and Reformist supporters voted in the March primary, because the voter rolls were not properly checked out by the National Organizing Commission (CNO).
In announcing the alleged proof that back up his claims that the process was corrupted, he said that 1,124,000 people voted in the nominating convention, nearly two and a half times the number that voted when they chose the party's top leaders.
He told media directors that the semi-open voter registration rolls contained 5,905,964 names, 756,000 more than during the 2009 convention. He said that the CNO only excluded 337,810 names, despite the fact that commission vice-president Milagros Ortiz Bosch had assured that they had excluded 600,000. He questioned the fact that in the 2009 process, the "refinement" of the voter rolls covered 695,181 names.
During a meeting with media executives, Vargas Maldonado argued that the PLD voting rolls contain 2,110,487 names, from which they (the CNO) only excluded 337,810, and this without counting the 211,751 Reformists who were not removed from the voter rolls. He said that according to the voter registration rolls submitted by the CNO, well-known Reformist and PLD figures such as First Lady Margarita Cedeno, Jaime David Fernandez Mirabal, Felix Ramon Bautista Rosario, Luis Manuel Bonetti Veras, Amable Aristy Castro, Elias Wessin Chavez, and Roberto Rosario Marquez were all eligible to vote.
