Ban the Cell Phone
As seen on P.A.T. news, Mario Cossio (ex-MNR), who is running for Prefect in Tarija will formally request that cell phones, especially those with built-in cameras be banned from the voting booth. Cossio is concerned that the phone could be utilized as a tool for voter fraud. According to Cossio, a person would receive a camera phone, enter the voting booth and take a picture of the completed ballot. With that image, they would exchange the picture and phone for payment for supporting a certain candidate.
Forget the cash reward, I think the voter would rather keep the camera phone.
