There must be something that the Aussies found out about electronic voting for them to shy away from it. For sure, they must have learned the lessons from the Philippines, where the Commission on Elections (Comelec) insisted on using the Precinct Count Optical Scan (PCOS) machines where we have already written many examples of the failure of this electronic voting machine, which was first used in the 2010 presidential elections. ... There are many more complaints vs. the PCOS machines in the 2013 polls. But the Comelec refuses to believe the truth despite the presence of concrete evidence against the PCOS machines. As the Australian Joint Committee chair Tony Smith pointed out, Technological convenience must be balanced against electoral integrity. Alas, for Filipinos, electoral integrity is unheard of inside the mind of Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes.
