KAKAMPI MO ANG BATAS.SYNDICATED, ENGLISH. 01 JULY 2013 More votes than voters in 2013 polls LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey. The Lord looked and was displeased that there was no justice…” (Isaiah 59:15, the Holy Bible). -ooo- EXCESS VOTES, WHERE DID THEY COME FROM? Here is a question for the Commission on Elections: is it possible that the total number of votes of all the candidates for a particular position contested in the May 2013 elections, like the position of a town or city mayor for example, would exceed the total number of ballots counted by the precinct count optical scan (PCOS) machines? To illustrate this question in a more understandable manner, let me use this example: let us say that in particular city, there were four candidates for mayor, and let us say that the total number of votes that were credited to them by the Comelec is 2,000. However, the statement of votes coming from the PCOS machines themselves are saying that there were only 1,000 ballots that were cast and actually counted. Surely, even a mere grade one student will tell the Comelec and all of us that this is not at all possible, for how can there be more votes credited to the candidates than the actual number of ballots that were cast and counted by the PCOS machines? Possibly, the total number of votes credited to the candidates should at least be similar or equal to the total number of ballots that were counted, or even lesser than the number of ballots, right? It could not be otherwise. -ooo- MORE VOTES THAN VOTERS IN 2013 POLLS: That is the reason why, in the petition which a group of Pasay City residents filed with the Comelec last June 25, 2013 seeking a declaration of failure elections in the city, the residents are asking the poll body to order a manual counting of the votes cast last May 13, 2013, for in at least 300 precincts in the city’s District 1, there were more votes credited to the four candidates for mayor, than there were ballots counted by the PCOS machines. The petitioners-residents charged: “Why are Petitioners saying that there was a failure of elections in Pasay City during the May 13, 2013 elections? The first reason is that, the results that led to the proclamation of the Respondent as mayor-elect were statistically and mathematically improbable, and appeared to have been the product of massive electronic and automated fraud arising from glaring, blatant and deliberate violations of Republic Act 8792, which is otherwise known as the Electronic Commerce Act of 2000… “It is (also) because their examination of the official statement of votes which they gathered initially from 300 precincts in the city showed that the electronic data reflected in those statement of votes and produced by the PCOS machines in those precincts did not match with one another, so that the electronic data used in proclaiming the Respondent could not be authenticated in the manner prescribed by Sections 6, 7, 11, and 12, among others, of Republic Act 8792… -ooo- VALIDITY OF PASAY CITY POLL RESULTS QUESTIONED: The petitioners then went on further to explain: “To show this in more concrete form: In Clustered Precincts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 46, 47, 48 and 49 under District 1 of Pasay City, the total number of ballots that were allegedly counted by the PCOS machines (as shown by the official statement of votes) amounted to only 7,547, but, the total number of all votes credited to all the four mayoralty candidates totaled a whooping 9,045. “For the record, copies of the statement of votes for all these clustered precincts---Clustered Precincts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 46, 47, 48 and 49---are attached and made part hereof as Annexes A, A-1, A-2, and series. Clearly, there was here an inexplicable, and therefore, greatly fraudulent, mismatch of electronic data culled from the official statement of votes themselves, which showed an excess of 1,858 votes that the PCOS machines supposedly counted. “The question therefore here is this: how can the electronic data coming from these precincts be considered as legal basis for proclaiming the Respondent as mayor-elect when, very clearly, they do not even tally with one another, and could not therefore be authenticated according to Republic Act 8792?” There is more of this petition in next issue, God willing! -ooo- REACTIONS?
