I was there when 500 drunk immigrants collectively and "forced" to

It was winter and in the evening I was invited to dinner by a large group of compatriots.

The streets and sidewalks of Frankfurt were white with snow, and I had difficulty parking my car.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was lit up with patriotic music and there were over 300 guests.

After two hours of music, beer, and wine, the organizer took the floor and, with a ballot in hand, began to give a speech, calling on everyone to vote for the XX party in the elections in Kosovo.

"Hajredini" from Gjakova has a construction company in Germany with 250 workers. All of his employees are from Kosovo and he pays them cheaply because of the "documents."

During the dinner, "Hajredini" and his staff filled out nearly 500 ballots, of employees and their families. It was a comical scene when you looked at 500 passports and 500 electoral documents...

I was reminded of this story while listening to dozens of analysts and politicians on Albanian media panels who had no idea what would happen with the diaspora vote.

They did not understand that voting by mail does not respect the basic principle of the Constitution, which is the "secrecy of the vote."

Voting by mail is not individual because immigrants will not vote at a ballot box, but:

- immigrants will vote in a cafe or restaurant,

- immigrants will vote at home,

- immigrants will vote in the eyes of friends, family or entrepreneurs,

- immigrants will vote as a family,

- immigrants will vote collectively.

Did you know that on March 11, two months before the elections, the results of the diaspora vote will be released?

Two months before the elections, we will all understand how immigrants will vote because their registration list will be released and the Socialist Party or some other parties will know their voters by name.

The release of the registration list on March 11 will compromise the election results and remove any curiosity about who wins on May 11.

The immigrant vote by mail is the most rigged vote in world history because it allows others to vote for you without monitoring.

- the restaurant owner from Vlora to Thessaloniki will take the passports of the waiters and chefs and fill out the ballots.

- The immigrant father from Berat will fill out the family's ballots and mail the ballots from Boston.

- The owner of the company from Shkodra to London will fill the ballots of the workers by paying them with two beers or a day off from work.

The emigrant vote by mail will be the biggest own goal of the Albanian opposition, which demanded voting by mail and rejected voting in embassies or consulates with ballot boxes.

Voting at consulates with a commissioner would be 100 times safer.

1.7 million Turks voted in Germany for the Turkish elections, waiting for 3 hours in long lines near dozens of polling stations in Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart, Düsseldorf and every other German or European city.

If you want to respect the immigrant vote, you have 3 correct forms:

- electronic voting with fingerprint

- votes at consulates with boxes

- votes with polling centers and commissioners in every European or American city.

Voting by mail is the worst option that will blow up the May 11 elections.

Wait another two months, because on March 11th, everyone will understand who the diaspora will vote for, and the exact result will even be predicted with decimal percentages./ CNA
