Outcry Over Rampant Election Fraud

The Irish Blog Awards are an “undemocratic and fraudulent affront to civil liberty” according to some disgruntled Irish bloggers who are demanding the deployment of international monitors and a complete recount of all election ballots. The dramatic claims were made by several underground dissenters in exclusive interviews with the Blank Paige. Each dissenter was at pains to stress that their disgruntlement did not stem from their failure to be nominated although some acknowledge privately that they regret that they did not nominated themselves.

“On the face of it, Damien Mulley appears to have pulled off a regular, impartial and transparent poll, but this is merely a smokescreen to cover the distortion of the results by blog heavyweights such as Sigla Blog, Progressive Ireland and RedMum” claimed one unnamed source last night.

eLections have always been open to charges of cronyism, however with so much at stake in this ballot, commentators are arguing for the immediate deployment of United Nations or European Union election monitors to ensure that the results are fair and above reproach. Although previous blog awards have been held, this particular election is seen as a defining moment in the development of an Irish Blog O’Sphere constitution. Most observers believe that free and fair elections will reinforce the democratic mandate. However it is feared that dissident bloggers will increase their disruptive tactics in the run up to the election.

The ballot organiser, Mulley has been responsible for this “pathetic charade", another anonymous blogger revealed (under condition of anonymity). “There was this pretence of a nominations round however it’s obvious from the absence of big name bloggers like blankpaige and Rinceor, that all was not right with this ballot”. “There has been gross intimidation and serious obstruction of would-be e’lectorate with some voters finding “Unauthorised Access” and “Access Denied” messages when they went to cast their ballots. In a shocking development, one female blogger was forced to vote for Twenty Major in the category of ‘Most Gratuitous Use of the C-Word’ category.It’s obvious the way some guy called “Richard” who never blogs gets nominated but still tops the poll that something isn’t right.

The final round of voting procedure has also come under question. In this round, an anonymous committee of individuals cast the decisive vote in a procedure similar to that used by the US Electoral College system.

Of course all the above is total rubblish, but when a girl hits ‘blog block’ you have to take drastic action! Congratulations to all who have been nominated. I wish you all the best. I’ve been voting early and often so you should too!
