Elections Won by False ID Cards
Information on usage of false ID cards in the 2008
presidential and parliamentary elections and 2010 local government
elections has been spread by different sources. But the scheme of its
usage – false ID cards made before elections, inclusion of these numbers
in the lists of Central Election Commission, bringing citizens from
different regions (to exclude the embarrassment and their recognition by
others), who agreed or were forced to fulfill the order and voting with
false ID cards, - was so refined that it was virtually impossible to
find out about it.

Inadequate Priorities of Rustavi Local Government
62-year-old Tengiz Sanikidze asks Rustavi City Hall
twenty GEL voucher for the medications: “We were told right before
election that City Hall was going to give twenty GEL vouchers for the
medications. I live in number 26th at the Friendship St. Every
pensioner from our apartment building has been in the polyclinic. We
were registered. We had to sit in a line for an hour. Then we went back
to City Hall and brought the receipt from the polyclinic. We were told
that we would receive vouchers, but have not received anything yet,” –
states Sanikidze.

“You Are Dead!” – Retired People Victimized by Election Fabrications Cannot Get Their Pensions and “Lives” Back
People are not surprised with paradoxes in Georgia.
During every election dead people raise from the dead but apparently we
have already put up with it; however we could not imagine that things
happened vice versa too. Several retired people from Poti district could
not get their pensions because they were not on the list. When they
inquired the reasons the reply was astonishing – “you are dead and you
cannot get pension.”
