text: #000011
text: The signs were there early enough: The insistence of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) commissioners to ensure that Smartmatic would get the P7.3-billion contract for the automated system, to the point of even pressuring its local partner, TIM, to get the partnership sealed again; the hiding from the public, via the Congress, of the many changes in the terms and conditions of the contract; the extra 6,000 auto machines that were not utilized with their whereabouts undisclosed; refusal of the poll body to clean up the voters’ list; Comelec and Smartmatic’s disabling of all the security features; the insistence that the precinct count optical scan (PCOS) machines are “unhackable” and that no cheating can occur, while Smartmatic and Comelec deliberately failed to inform the public that there were ports or consoles in the machines serving as a cheating mode, since such a port could then be used for easy transmission of fake ballots and ERs from any place; the poll body and its tech partner’s refusal to release the source code for review, despite the law saying that the source code should be reviewed by parties and independent IT specialists; the overprint of ballots which has not been accounted for; the sudden changes made in the compact flash (CF) cards a few days before the scheduled polls and the reprogramming of the CF cards plus burner equipment handed to each province and by Comelec and DoST personnel in the provinces; even the early posting of the precinct votes in bulk without Comelec stating where the votes came from and even when the call centers never got them; and many more indications of the body and its partner’s intent to commit large scale electoral fraud.
text: #000015
text: Finally, the gung-ho automated polls House committee chairman who had conducted an inquiry into this matter admitted that there was systematic cheating, with documentary evidence to boot.
text: #000016
text: What was strange however, is that despite his admission that cheating was committed, he insists that this was only done on a local level, which really is an illogical conclusion, because systematic cheating done on a local level can also very well be done on a national level. It’s one and the same cheating system.
text: #000017
text: What is clear is that once again, the Filipinos were not the ones who voted for their elected officials but the Comelec and Smartmatic cheats. Even the manual ballot count reflects this cheating.
text: #000020
text: Despite this discovery of the stealing of the sovereign people’s will by the election cheats, who made a pile of money besides, there went the Comelec, still talking about holding more automated polls in the very near future, buying the Smartmatic machines, although saying too that the next time, there would be more focus on the security angle.
text: #000021
text: What all this can mean is that from the start, there was that wide scale conspiracy to commit automated electoral fraud.

text: An election watchdog on Friday said it would not recommend automating the 2013 local polls unless the poll body fixes the system used in the May 10 elections.
text: #000035
text: “Under the current system, I wouldn’t recommend it. If they can address the weaknesses, particularly putting more safeguards, greater transparency, auditability and traceability, then we can go ahead with automated elections in 2013,” National Citizens’ Movement for Free Elections (Namfrel) chairperson Jose Cuisia Jr. told GMANews.TV in an interview on Friday.
text: #000036
text: The poll watchdog’s recommendation echoed the report released this week by House Committee on Suffrage and Electoral Reforms, headed by Makati City Rep. Teodoro Locsin Jr., saying that electoral fraud took place during the recent national and local elections.
text: #000037
text: The same report discouraged the Commission on Elections (Comelec) from using the May 10 automated system in the 2013 elections. Cuisia said the poll body has “more than enough time” to find solutions to problems encountered during the previous elections before proceeding with automation in 2013.
text: #000038
text: “The preoccupation with new technology and speedy counting to impress the public came at the expense of greater transparency and accountability of the system,” Cuisia said during the press conference. The Namfrel chairperson likewise gave several recommendations to the Comelec to address these problems, which include publicly disclosing results of the random manual audit, as well as a full report of Comelec expenditures during the past polls.
text: #000040
text: “We give these observations and thoughts in the spirit and hope that improvements can be made in future systems and elections, which will hopefully mitigate the types of problems that we experienced in May,” he said. The group’s recommendations will be forwarded to the Joint Congressional Committee on Poll Automation and to the Comelec, according to Cuisia. The Comelec denied Namfrel accreditation to be the poll body’s official citizen arm during the May 10 elections, and instead gave the responsibility to the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV), which performed random manual audits during the previous polls. — LBG, RJAB Jr., GMANews.TV

text: Comelec urged to fix problems in automated election system
text: #000045
text: Comelec officials said it was likely that the 2013 elections would use a voting and canvassing technology similar to what was used in the last elections. The system was supplied by Smartmatic TIM Corp., which entered a P7.2-billion deal with the Comelec to conduct the country’s first nationwide computerized balloting.
text: #000049
text: Although the poll watchdog acknowledged that the 2010 elections were fast and generally accurate, the automated election system used by the Comelec and Smartmatic TIM “ is in serious need of review and remedial measures before it is to be used for future elections.”
text: #000050
text: The organization cited the wrong time and date stamps on the election returns, the lack of digital signatures, and the incomplete inventory of the voting machines and the compact flash cards. These deficiencies, the poll watchdog said, threw doubts on the integrity of the results.
text: #000051
text: Namfrel, Alvia said, supports automated polls, but it should be free from the technical problems that plagued the last elections.
text: #000052
text: In the audit of a precinct cluster at the University of the Philippines Integrated School, there were differences in the manual and machine count for the positions of president, vice-president, and representative, the Namfrel report said.
text: #000056
text: Teachers who audited the ballots counted 689 votes for president, but the voting machine tallied 695. The manual count for vice-president was 695, one more vote than the machine tally, Namfrel said.
text: #000057
text: The audit was aimed at determining the accuracy of the results from the Precinct Count Optical Scanners, which were used for the first time in Philippine elections.
text: #000060
text: Namfrel said the poll agency should release the complete report of the RMA to lay to rest questions on the integrity and accuracy of the PCOS count.
