    So far, not a SHRED of hard evidence. But how pleasing to note most tsikoteers have more common sense than very many trapos ...

    Nagtataka ako sa mga looser politician na ito. Alam na pala nila na may "dayaan" at di lang nila ma afford yun price. Eh bakit di nila ni-report ito. Kasi masasayang yung nagastos pera , pagod at oras sa "campaign" pag yun kalaban nya pumatol sa "cheating" na ito. Nonsense talaga kung maniniwala tayo sa mga report ng mga talunan na politicians.

    dudes, obvious naman they're just making things up

    they lost and they're bitter

    they'll do everything they can to make life difficult for the victors

    after the election campaign, the losers are now on a scorched earth campaign

    they don't care if they wreck the country in the process

    no such thing as greater good for those people

    they wanna disrupt, discredit, destroy

    human nature dudes

    agree!!! Villar should have been the clear winner, kung meron pwedeng bayaran para manalo.

    Otherwise, they'd have to control all the personnel at all the stations, which they can't.
    Credit cards can be hacked online (actually, just the card numbers). There are a lot of investigative stories about it on Dateline and similar TV shows. The card doesn't even have to be physically present for it to be hacked.

    But special scanning devices or skimmers do exist to lift information off a credit card.

    BTT: It's hard to manipulate the election results or manipulate the software without knowing the source code, and compiling/decompiling it. I used to be an amateur programmer, (Turbo Pascual and Basic...yeah, its that old!), and if the cheaters don't know how the election software works or the way it was written, they can't do jack.

    I think we all agree that digital cheating would be very hard to do. But the one thing that still needs to be addressed is retail cheating - at the local level where vote buying becomes the only means to ensure a victory, especially in the depressed provinces or outlying communities. Kaya yung ibang trapo, gusto maraming mahihirap - people who think only of their day-to-day existence so that even P100 will be enough for them to trade in their future in exchange for a day's meal.

    Time for this gov't to live up to its promise: Kung walang corrupt, walang mahirap. Then when people choose to vote according to conscience and not their stomach, we'll see real public servants who'll be judged on the basis of their relational rather than transactional leadership.

    Of course yung mga talo will continue to crawl out of the woodwork to claim they were cheated. But maybe by that time, elections would have been so foolproof, complainers will appear like fools. Praying for a better tomorrow. Sana dumating na.

    sad but so true, they should take a lesson from Al Gore, won the popular votes (but nabitin sa electoral votes) against Bush, he conceded to avoid a constitutional crisis, kung dito yun nangyari they'll be happy to see the country in ashes rather than admit losing.

Would cheating be that easy in the recent election?
