The current scandal taking place with the discovery of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of irregular and illegal identity switches is being placed at the feet of insiders, and more precisely at the feet of people who work at the Investigative Unit of the Electoral Registry and the Center for Identification at the Central Electoral Board (JCE). At issue is the Dominican "cedula" or national identification card and voter registration card all in one. The two departments are the only ones that work with voter registrations and they are the only ones that know just who does not have a photograph on file. According to a hard working source, Hoy reports that as part of the fraudulent process the people at the Investigative Unit have both the original card holder as well as the false owner sign waivers that supposedly release the JCE personnel from responsibility. According to the latest numbers from the congressional and municipal election of May 2006, over 75,000 people do not have a photograph in the JCE's databanks.
