GROUP SAYS VOTES FOR PARTY-LIST GROUPS SURGED 79% FROM 2004Poll machines show 153M May 10 votersBy Gerry Baldo 05/24/2010 Suspicions of more electronic fraud anomalies cropped up yesterday as the poll watchdog Center for People Empowerment in Governance (Cenpeg) said vote counting machines supplied by Smartmatic registered 153 million voters at the National Canvassing Center of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) while cause-oriented group Kadamay said that votes for party-list groups surged 79 percent to 27.5 million, equivalent to 83 percent of the total 33 million voters in the May 10 elections. Cenpeg said it is asking the Comelec to account for the 153 million voters Smartmatic machines registered at the National Canvassing Center. Cenpeg’s director for policy study, publication and advocacy Bobby Tuazon said there were nagging unresolved questions that have enveloped the recent elections in a cloud of doubt. Among the issues raised by Tuazon was the Comelec’s failure to fully cleanse the voter’s registration lists and the failure to disclose the actual number of precinct count optical scan (PCOS) machines that successfully transmitted the election results. In a letter sent to the joint congressional oversight committee, Cenpeg is also asking the Smartmatic to explain why it registered 153,902,003 registered voters at the national canvassing center. “There are many other questions that beg to be answered, including the 153,902,003 voters registered by Smartmatic machines at the National Canvassing Center,” Evita Jimenez, Cenpeg’s director, said.
