That fraud marked the automated polls can hardly be denied even if it is being vehemently denied by poll officials. But the blame really falls on the Commission on Elections, the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV), and even members of Congress who were so gung-ho over automated polls and not bothering to insist on checks for the entire system, including the Comelec’s cavalier attitude in doing away with the important security checks. And that is where the big problem of the credibility of honest elections comes in. It cannot be denied that the Comelec and Smartmatic did a shoddy job of ensuring a fraud-free poll. For one, there was always the question of Comelec’s refusal to reveal the source code from where the machines’ instructions come, to the other IT watchdogs, such as CenPEG and some other IT groups. Why not, when that is what the law states, and if the Comelec and Smartmatic tasks were aboveboard? Source: The Daily Tribune URL: http://www.tribuneonline.org/commentary/20100520com2.html |
