Dear Sir,
With reference to the EAB in your story “No Charges Against man in Camptown Ballot Box Incident”, carried on pg. 15. Thursday, December 29, 2011, we wish to draw to your attention that your report on the EAB is erroneous.
On November 28, 2011 outside of the Camptown Polling Station in Campbelville, we specifically told your reporter that the EAB was present on the scene to investigate a report by persons outside the polling station. We emphasized that the EAB was investigating this report and was not confirming that this was what actually happened. We pointed this out again to the reporter after your paper first carried an article portraying the events you described as the EAB’s account of what happened rather than the report that the EAB was investigating.
For the record, the EAB took several statements from persons in the crowd that had gathered outside of Camptown Polling Station. These statements were given directly via telephone calls to the EAB’s Communications Centre on Election Day where they were written down.
With regards to what happened inside the polling station, the EAB Observer posted in the station provided a witness account of what actually transpired.
The EAB will be providing its findings on this incident in its forthcoming report on the assessment of polls.
