I am not absolutely sure about it being fixed. The only sure thing we know is we didn't have enough time to test the last version/revision of the software on the CF cards before the actual elections.
How sure are we that the software wouldn't have extra commands included, especially for specific locals? (like for some people who would prefer to hang on to some political power just a bit longer).
anyway our concerns about cheating I think hinde nangyari since so far yun mga expected na mananalo kahit sa locals yun talaga ang nanalo.
What I might want to do is to recheck all the PCOS machines' CF card softwares with a set of test ballots as these are returned from their polling places. Just to double check lingering doubts on the honestly of the electronic voting system.Last edited by ghosthunter; May 11th, 2010 at 10:48 AM.

hindsight is always 20-20 that's why a lot of people have opposing views on the most recent elections and a great number of them will always point out what should have been done and what must be done even though some of those inputs may border on the impractical.
i say a lot of things could have gone tragically wrong yesterday and let's thank our lucky stars those things didn't occur. now that we've seen the glitches going digital entails, then preparations for the next elections will be more detailed and will be more precise - hopefully. but the thing is we're not in the clear yet so vigilance is still a must especially in the local level where the losing candidates (especially incumbent ones) may likely hole themselves in and dig trenches in their local city and municipal halls and cry out loud hysterically: "i've been cheated!"

MANILA, Philippines—The Commission on Elections on Tuesday began the random manual audit (RMA) in selected precincts across the country, results of which will be compared to the automated elections.
Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) chairperson Henrietta de Villa said that the pre-selected precincts have begun conducting random manual audit early Tuesday morning, after they failed to do so on Monday night.
PPCRV is the accredited citizen’s arm of Comelec.
On Monday, representatives of the PPCRV and Comelec randomly selected the precincts that will undergo manual auditing through a raffle at the Comelec command center at the Philippine International Convention Center in Pasay City.
As prescribed under Comelec Resolution 8837, a total of 1,145 clustered precincts will be chosen to undergo RMA to check on the credibility of the automated elections.

MANILA, Philippines—Faulty PCOS (precinct count optical scan) machines resulted in the delay of the transfer of voting results in various areas across the country, the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) said on Tuesday.
In its latest hourly news bulletin, PPCRV said faulty PCOS machines have been reported in Maguindanao, Bulacan, Quezon City, Lanao del Sur, Basilan, Isabela, Cavite, and Marawi City.
At 8:15 a.m., the Paglat Elementary School in Maguindanao reported a delay of election results due to the lost PIN of one of its PCOS machines.
Problems encountered with PCOS machines include loss of transmission, unreadable memory cards, thermal paper errors, paper jam, and even low battery power.
“Several regions had to conduct parallel counting, wait for the technician, and call the Smartmatic center. These result to the delay of the election returns to the board of election inspectors,” the PPCRV said in its report.

this is the first automated election system in Phil. so expect some glitches
no perfect system for everybody
software will always have some glitches
windows OS nga may mga bugs (blue screen of death ,etc)
the best to check the credibility of the system is to have a random audit test. If there is a certain inserted command in the system. they will notice that when do some test

juz to add on to that 7.2B is just a Rental Fee from Smartmatic
PCOS machine(s) are just rented not purchased from Smartmatic
and just a suggestion to Smartmatic; the machine where ballots are scanned should provide a Receipt after your voted was scanned in order for you to have a copy on whom you voted; para kung magkaroon ng dayaan, the people(s) can show their receipt on whom they voted for and dispute it freely - yan ang mas worry free na election sana!

May 12th, 2010 12:16 AM #30the proof that you voted is right there in your right index finger and the hard copy of your ballot. the reason why they dont produce receipts of whom you voted for is the same reason they dont allow anyone to photograph and make a copy of their finished ballots, flying voting.
