First, a plain and clear disclaimer: This is definitely not a search for perfection. Neither is this a posture of pessimism or negativism. This is but seeking rhyme and reason in the just concluded automated elections. Among other things, there are sayings like “First impressions do not last.” “One robin does not make spring.” “It’s not over till the fat lady sings.” And so on — all essentially conveying the same message. Thus it is that the Comelec-Smartmatic team was in no time praised even blessed for a job well done. There were a lot of warm congratulations extended, and many tight hand-shakes were made as well. But as the dust begins to settle, there are worthwhile questions raised here and there, in the same way that there are reasonable doubts expressed now and then. Far be all these from sour-grapping. Neither is it about a “hard-to-please” posturing. Much less is this fomenting social discontent possibly productive of social disorder. This is but about some things that are either rather hard to swallow or difficult to accept according to sound reason.
