President elections are protected With Jammers

Lately Ukrainians had to choose a person who will lead them to the bright future and as usual some political parties did everything possible to win, even if it was illegal. In addition to ”ordinary” ways of falsification that were used in 2004, improved ways of interfering into voting process took place.

It is well-known fact that the most widely spread method of falsification at any elections is bribing of voters. The thing is that this method has one big disadvantage, there is a possibility that voter will take money and still vote for another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to spy out the voter’s choice until now. New equipment allowed a person to get absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret gizmos. So some political parties decided to set small hidden wireless cameras on the bribed voters to receive real time video from voting cabin and so got the opportunity to check whether the voter made the “right” choice. Also for these purposes mobile phones that support video calls were used.

Knowing all this, other parties provided their representatives with special phone jammers to jam 2.4 GHz frequency and thus to stop competitors from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to jam any mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. That universal jammer not only disrupts all these frequencies but also is very compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.

As we can see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet countries. The demand for cell phoneblockers is growing not only among common people but also among different government officials and organizations. In winter 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 cell phoneblockers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
