Comelec: PCOS machines cheaper, practical

If we really want it cheap, let’s do it the American Idol way. Just text your favorite candidate’s number and we’ll tally them in time for next day’s elimination round ;=)
I can’t believe we spend billions just to count people’s votes. Seriously, we can create an android or apple application that people can download, register using whatever unique identification there is and convey the vote to the central processing system. If people do not have cellphones (or laptops), they can still go to the voting centers and use whatever is setup there (there can be cells or laptops set-up for them). While there is still cost, most of it will be towards labor and not technology. I know this idea is a swag and has lots of holes, but the point is we should look at the infrastructure that’s already there – instead of creating one from the ground up and which will only be used every 3 years.
I don’t know if people in the government are progressive enough, but they should continue to think outside-the-box – rather than thinking of ways to line their pockets with kickbacks (that’s the cynic in me talking).

Oo nga , segurado may 15% dyan si Mang Sixto..Tito! batuhan mo naman ako!..

ok na yang pcos na yan kesa naman manual. ang nagrereklamo lang naman dyan eh yung mga kandidato na dagdag bawas. tanong nyo si FVR magaling sa dagdag bawas yan eh hehehhe.

The Comelec should stand firm on its decision to use the PCOS machine in the 2013 midterm elections kahit ano pang pressure ang gawin sa kanila. Mas kakaunti ang chance na makapag dagdag-bawas kung PCOS machines ang gagamitin. Yung mga kumokontra dito ay iyong mga beneficiary ng dagdag-bawas. At least kapag PCOS machine ang gagamitin, mas lesser ang kanilang chance. na mandaya.
