Installation of transparent voting booths rejected

In order everything would be fair and in democratic voting process, FIFA has rejected the proposal from a presidential candidate to use transparent voting booths ensuring that delegates do not photograph their ballot paper. This unusual request was made by Jordanian Prince Ali, who after after hearing this, said that he will take this case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to settle the dispute. With little time left, we do not think that will be wise decision to do for the Prince. Released statement through his French based lawyer said that the Prince only wanted 'to safeguard the full transparency of the electoral proceedings'. But according to the FIFA statutes - the voting is secret. Domenico Scala, chairman of the FIFA electoral committee, rejected the Prince's proposal and said that the voters could produce evidence of their vote by using a mobile phone.
Unless he wants to win the election and be crowned FIFA chief as well he has to think something quick like every other normal presidential nominee.
