“On whether Venezuelan Jose Carmago accessed the RTS and interfered with the results, it turned out to be no more than hot air and we were taken on a wild goose chase that yielded nothing of value,” Koome stated.

On whether the integrity of the public portal was compromised, the CJ said that it was disapproved by evidence of consistence attributes such as unique time stamps and uniform PDF conversions at the polling stations, correct polling station mapping and consistent Kiems reporting from verification to transmission of results.

Koome said that the IEBC server was configured to accept results on from authorized an properly marked Kiems kits.
