EXHIBIT NUMBER THREE - ALLEGATIONS OF FRAUD ARE FALSE story
New York, USA - The meddling into the internal affairs
of the organization of the CISS/Deaflympics or ICSD (
"CISS" ) by the so-called deaf international sports
role model and CISS Honorary Member for Life - Jerald
Jordan - is going on.
Once again, Jordan, the recipient of the 1994
Gallaudet University Honorary Doctorate Degree and
1995 Olympic Order, is getting backfired.
After mishandling his one-man Deaflympics Database
Project, in which over 985 errors were spotted in his
work, Jordan has now again degraded the image and
integrity of the CISS in the eyes of the whole word
And despite his recent denial as a person in charge of
the 39th CISS Congress election running, Jordan ( not
Lennart Edwall of Sweden, the chief scrutineer or
teller of the election session ) has now himself found
the nerve to describe his story about these elections
in one publication -
www.deaftimes.com
Jordan's recent story is an excellent piece of
evidence document strengthening this Ombudsman's case
that the 39th Congress election session held on
January 4, 2005, at Melbourne, Australia, was
mishandled and that the elections were organized in a
highly-dubious and fraudulent manner!
The reputable deaf online news publication in the USA
-
www.deaftimes.com -
in its recent October 24, 2005 edition published Jordan's story titled ALLEGATIONS OF FRAUD ARE FALSE.
in its recent October 24, 2005 edition published Jordan's story titled ALLEGATIONS OF FRAUD ARE FALSE.
In spite of his long-time status in the organization
of the CISS ( he was its President between 1971 and
1995 ), Jordan's October 24 story was produced in an
unprofessional, confused, negligent, inconsistent,
inaccurate and mistaken manner.
According to Jordan's story, a record total of 286
voting ballots out of 960 for five various CISS
Executive Committee positions went unaccounted or
unused: these 286 ballots were either returned blank
or disqualified ones by the Congress delegates.
These 286 ballots out of 960 translate into 29.8% of
votes that went unaccounted during the January 4
Congress elections!
Allow this Ombudsman to elaborate further.
There was a supposed breakdown for the total of 960
voting ballots distributed for five different
positions:
120 votes for the office of President
120 votes for the office of Vice President
360 votes for the office of Member-at-Large Round One
240 votes for the office of Member-at-Large Round Two
120 votes for the office of Member-at-Large Round Three.
120 votes for the office of Vice President
360 votes for the office of Member-at-Large Round One
240 votes for the office of Member-at-Large Round Two
120 votes for the office of Member-at-Large Round Three.
For the office of President Jordan mistakenly reports
in his story a total of 120 votes, that is, Donalda
Ammons received 89 votes, while Valery Rukhledev - 23.
Mathematically, 89 plus 23 will equal 112 votes. So,
Jordan failed to report 8 missing votes.
For the office of Vice President, Jordan again
erroneously reports a total of 120 votes, that is,
David Lanesman got 62 votes, Rukhledev 39 and Jessica Rohde 15.
David Lanesman got 62 votes, Rukhledev 39 and Jessica Rohde 15.
Mathematically, 62 plus 39 plus 15 equal 116 votes.
Thus, Jordan in his story did not report these 4 votes
as void ones.
For the office of Member-at -Large, there were 3
vacant positions, in which three different Rounds were
held.
Member-at-Large Round One: Jordan wrote to say that
"But the facts are that 118 ballot papers were
returned ( meaning a country either left the room or
chose not to vote )," and that "Three of the ballot
papers were disqualified," and that "Examination of
remaining papers shows that some countries did not
vote for three candidates ( nor were they required to
)."
Jordan's statements translate into the following: 118
returned ballots plus 3 disqualified ballots means a
total 121 ballots went uncontested or unused.
Therefore, of 360 ballots awarded for this Round One
minus 121 equal 239 ballots ( or, 360 - 121=239 ).
This translates into a total 239 ballots which were
supposed to be contested among the six candidates in
this Round.
However, there is a huge inconsistency: how could
these six candidates collect a combined total of 239
votes?
According to Jordan's story itself and CISS Congress
Minutes Reports of March 27 and October 23, 2005, Siv
Fosshaug received 79 votes, Tommy Jung 44, Dogan
Ozdemir 55, Yang Yang 57, Rohde 28 and Rukhledev 41,
which equals to an aggregate of 304 votes.
The figure of 239 does not justify the figure of 304.
That is, an aggregate of 304 votes, let's repeat, was
collected by all these six candidates in this Round
One contest.
Thus, it appeared that a total of 239 votes went
unaccounted or unused in this Round One.
Member-at-Large Round Two: Jordan provided confusing
and vaguely-worded statements by writing to say that
"116 ballots were returned, meaning 2 countries did
not vote," that "Eight ballot sheets were
disqualified," and that "Again, not all countries
voted for two candidates."
Jordan's statements interpret the following: 4 votes (
that is, each country has 2 votes times 2 countries )
plus 8 disqualified ballot sheets equal 12 votes. Now,
240 contested votes for this Round minus 12 votes
equal 228 remaining votes ( or, 240 - 12 = 228 ).
Again, there is an inconsistency with these 228 votes
compared with Jordan's story and the two different
CISS Congress Minutes Reports of March 27 and October
23, 2005 ( that is, Jordan and the two CISS Congress
Minutes Reports indicate that a combined total of 208
votes were awarded between 4 candidates for this Round
- Jung got 45 votes, Ozdemir 54, Yang 65 and Rukhledev
44.
Therefore, 228 votes minus 208 equal 20 votes ( or,
228 - 208 = 20 ).
Thus, according to Jordan's story, 20 votes went
unaccounted or unused in this Round Two.
Member-at-Large Round Three: Jordan stated in his
story that "112 ballot sheets returned ( 4 countries
not voting )," and that "Seven ballot sheets were
disqualified."
Jordan's these 2 statements interpret the following: 4
countries not voting is tantamount to 8 votes ( or, 4
countries x 2 votes each country = 8 ) plus 7
disqualified ballot sheets equal a total of 15
unaccounted or unused votes.
Once again, there is an inconsistency and
contradiction with these statistics. Jordan reports
that Ozdemir received 61 votes, while Jung 44, but the
altered October 23, 2005 CISS Congress Minutes Report
indicate that Ozdemir got 61 votes, while Jung 45 (
not 44 ). It is also still unclear whether there in
fact was a live election contest in the Round Three
between Ozdemir and Jung at all because the March 27,
2005-issued CISS Congress Minutes Report mentions the
name of Ozdemir with 61 votes as the only entrant in
this Round Three contest.
By the way, this Ombudsman has sent an e-mail message
to Tommy Jung of Korea to find out and verify the
facts from him on whether there was actually held a
face-to-face election session between Jung and Ozdemir
of Turkey and the exact number of votes Jung received
in the last Round Three. As of this writing,
unfortunately, Jung has not replied to this e-mail
message yet.
Overall, per Jordan's explanations in the story, a
total of 286 votes went unaccounted or unused,
including disqualified and returned blank ones. That
is, for the office of President - 8 votes went
unreported by Jordan, Vice President - 4,
Member-at-Large Round One - 239, Member -at-Large
Round Two - 20, and Member-at-Large Round Three - 15.
In comparison, based on the March 27, 2005 CISS
Congress Minutes Report release, this Ombudsman found
out a total of 151 unaccounted and missing votes in
the Report. That is, for the Office of Vice President
- 4 votes went unreported, Member-at-Large Round One -
56, Member-at-Large Round Two - 32, and
Member-at-Large Round Three - 59.
Interestingly, the various figures produced in
Jordan's story, for instance, such as "118" ( or "118
ballot papers returned" ), "116" ( or "116 ballot
sheets were returned" ) and "8" ( or "eight ballot
sheets were disqualified" ) went unmentioned in the
October 23, 2005 altered version of the 39th CISS
Congress Minutes Report.
The main and eloquent fact is that the many voting
ballot numbers presented in Jordan's story do not
match with the numbers published in both CISS Congress
Minutes Reports
demonstrated in EXHIBITS NUMBER ONE and TWO below.
Jordan concluded his story with his
beautifully-uttered words, "I repeat, NO FRAUD"!
This is another sophisticated propaganda ploy by
Jordan to mislead the world.
For many valid reasons, however, this Ombudsman must
wholly and squarely challenge Jordan's irresponsible
and intimidating propaganda tactic by reiterating his
opinion conclusion that there was indeed an election
FRAUD, which was primarily orchestrated by its chief
mastermind and architect - Jordan!
Thus, ideology and opinion difference over how to
properly, appropriately, competently and
professionally manage the CISS business, including the
issue of election handling, between the two different
schools of thought: this Soviet Union-born and USA
citizen's Ombudsman and two USA-born citizens and
anarchists' - Jordan and his "a yes-person" and
disciple Ammons - continues.
P.S. It was just learned by this website that Ammons,
the illegitimately-elected CISS President, sent her
letter explaining about her viewpoint of the 2005 CISS
Congress election outcome to Jean-Laurent Bourquin,
the I.O.C. Sports Manager at the I.O.C. headquarters
in Lausanne, Switzerland. The contents of Ammons'
letter were almost identical ones as Jordan's story of
October 24, 2005.
