필리핀 선관위(comelec)의장인 Abalos가 지난 3월11일에 최종적으로 한국산 전자개표=자동개표를 포기,탈락시키면서 의미심장한 발언을 했습니다. 자동개표기의 선거결과조작에 대한 두려움을 진정시키기 위해서 필리핀 선관위는
만장일치로 자동개표계획을 탈락시킨다고 했습니다. 필리핀은 국민소득이 우리보다 낮고 경제수준이 우리나라보다 못한 나라이지만, 건전한 민주주의의 기본이 살아 있는 민주주의 기본원칙을 준수하는 나라임이 여실히 증명되고
있습니다.
민주주의 국가에서 선거만큼 중요한 국가행사가 또 있겠습니까?
그런데 필리핀 대법원과 필리핀 선관위가 최소한의 국가적인 불상사를 막기위해서 포기,탈락시킨 전자개표=자동개표를 왜 우리는 무리수를 두면서 강행을 할까요? 정말 큰일입니다. 한나라당은 무엇을 하고 있습니까?
전자개표기에 대한 국민들의 절규를 진정 아직도 모른다는 말입니까?
지금이라도 늦지 않았습니다. 늦다고 생각될때가 가장 빠른때 입니다.
한나라당은 필리핀이 중단한 선거 전자개표=자동개표를 반대하라!!!
이때까지의 전자개표의 문제점과 대응방안을 주장하는 많은이들의 조언에 귀를 기울여라!!!
전자개표는 안된다!!! 수개표로 공정한 개표를 국민들은 요구한다!!! 한나라당은 각성하라!!! 전자개표 결사반대!!!

Comelec drops automated polls
By Ferdinand G. Patinio, Correspondent
THE Commission on Elections on Wednesday laid to rest the controversy arising from its insistence to use computerized counting machines in selected areas in the country on May 10.
Comelec Chair Benjamin Abalos Sr. said the commission unanimously agreed to drop the proposal to automate the counting of the election results, paving the way for manual counting.
Abalos said the decision to junk selective automation was reached to allay fears that the automated counting machines (ACMs) could facilitate the manipulation of the election results.
“We do not want to add more to the growing apprehensions of the people that we want to cheat in favor of the administration candidates,” he said.
The Comelec wanted to debunk innuendoes that it was intent in pushing for automation because it already closed a multibillion-peso deal with the Mega Pacific Consortium, which supplied the machines.
“They make it appear that we have an illicit affair with the supplier of the machines. So to end all this we have abandoned the idea of selective automation in order to allay the fears of people that we are doing this to favor any candidate,” he said.
The Supreme Court ruled last month that the contract for the machines was flawed because Mega Pacific failed to meet the requirements asked of a bidder.
Comelec Commissioner Resurreccion Borra proposed a way of skirting the Court’s decision through an arrangement in which the Comelec “borrows” the machines from Mega Pacific.
Borra also noted that the Court did not find the machines faulty since they passed the accuracy test ran by the Department of Science and Technology.
At least 1,500 machines were to have been used if the selective automation had been carried out.
The machines were to have been set up in Metro Manila, the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao and parts of the Visayas. The Comelec paid the Mega Pacific consortium P1.3 billion for the machines.
Followers of Koalisyon ng Nagkakaisang Pilipino standard-bearer Fernando Poe Jr. warned that they will file impeachment charges against the Comelec officials if they insisted in fielding the machines.
The Food, Peace, Justice Volunteers Brigade said the Comelec will be violating the Supreme Court’s ruling if they used the machines.
