- More VOTER FRAUD at WZO elections: Widespread voter fraud and technical problems threaten the credibility of the vote for the World Zionist Congress, several sources close to the elections have told The Times of Israel. The sources said more than 10,200 votes, or about 6% of the total ballots cast thus far, are at risk of being tossed out due to suspicions of fraud. These votes allegedly benefited six of the 22 parties running for election.

Early signs of a problem emerged in early April, when the AZM said it was investigating nearly 2,000 suspicious votes. Sources indicated at the time that these votes benefited the slates of Haredi Eretz Hakodesh, associated with Israel’s Haredi United Torah Judaism party, and Am Yisrael Chai, an Orthodox party targeting young voters.

Many of these votes were allegedly cast within minutes of each other from identical locations, using suspicious pre-paid credit cards and unverifiable contact details.

At the time, eJewishPhilanthropy reported that many of the suspected votes came from six locations whose addresses matched yeshivas in New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland, and that all the prepaid credit cards were issued by TransPecos Bank and Pathward.
