MAY DAYA? Kilalang ABOGADO nanawagan ng manual counting dahil sa kwestyonableng bersyon ng ACM

Two groups have urged the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) to do manual counting after Atty. Harold Respicio revealed that the version used for the Automated Counting Machines (ACMs) was not audited.

It can be recalled that Atty. Harry Respicio revealed that the current ACMs used during the final testing were using version 3.5, which allegedly was not included in the audited version by the Technical Evaluation Committee (TEC).

However, COMELEC called Respincio’s accusations ‘fake news’, saying that version 3.4, which was audited, and 3.5 were the same version.

“Ang sinasabing version 3.4 sa Local Source Code Review Report ay siya mismong version na sumailalim sa independent third-party audit at matapos nitong makapasa ay tinagurian na ito bilang version 3.5 na kasalukuyang ginagamit ng mga ACM base sa ipinakita ng kandidato sa bidyo,” said COMELEC.
