【新唐人2013年03月14日讯】 传政协委员不满选举方式投弃权票
大陆著名历史学者、复旦大学图书馆馆长、政协委员葛剑雄，3月12号，在《金融时报》中文网“两会日记”专栏中，以政协投票目击记为题披露，中共选举新的政协领导人过程中，有一位委员给所有候选人都投下了弃权票，以此方式表达对选举办法的异议。葛剑雄没有提及这位委员的姓名。
葛剑雄介绍他在政协选举当天的目击经过，他说，当会议主持人第三次询问选票是否写好时，两度举手表示“还没有”的那位委员，站起来拿出相机，拍下自己的选票。
葛剑雄说，计票时发现，包括新当选的政协主席俞正声在内，所有的候选人都获得了一票弃权票。他认为，这表明至少有一个委员给所有人都投了弃权票。
葛剑雄分析，这个委员这样做有两种可能。第一，他是用这种方式提出对选举办法的意见，要求程序民主。第二，他通过照相来检验这套选举系统是不是真正的公正。

CPPCC member not satisfied with election method, cases and abstention vote.
Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference
(CPPCC) member Ge Jianxiong published an article.
It was called “witnessing the CPPCC election” on
Chinese Financial News website.
The article described a CPPCC member casting
abstention votes on all candidates.
He wanted to express his dissatisfaction with the non-
democratic election method.
Ge describes what he saw on the day of the election.
He said when the host of the meeting asked whether or
not they had chosen their candidates for the third time,
the member who already raised his hands twice before
to indicate he had not cast a vote yet stood up and took a photo of his ballot.
Ge says when the votes were counted, each person received
at least one abstention vote, including the newly “elected" CPPCC chairman.
He believes this shows that at least one person cast
an abstention vote on each member.
Ge analyzes the possible justifications for such behavior.
He believes that the member who cast abstention votes
is using it as a way to express his dissatisfaction towards
the non-democratic election method.
By taking a picture, he wanted to see whether or not
the ballots would be counted with integrity.
