This may change based on further discussion, but currently, our policy
is that a cellphone(SIM) will be good for only one precinct, no more. If
course, cheats can always buy more SIMs, register under a false name and
send a false report. But again, watchers who belong to accredited orgs
will be assigned a higher credibility index. We have a few more
mechanisms to cope with what we expect to be the biggest problem: how to
deal with cheats who will join as watchers and then send in false reports.
Regards to all,

i think the telco have to enable gps option, for Smart ithink they can
do that right away since they are using CDMA if im not mistaken (care
free to correct me, my memory is very bad and im just recalling info's
from a year ago already). I think by just designating a group of
volunteer on an area will will suffice. lets say 6 out of 10 people
reports the tally is 500 vs other reports then just trust the
majority.Cheaters would have to coerce at most 6 volunteers just to
manipulate the report >_<

anybody with a 1000$ fpga and a modified adsl modem can do that. but
of course you can be caught very easily since you are affectively
