Poll watchdogs seemingly will be crying their voices hoarse in the wilderness over their allegations of pre-programmed automated poll results in the 60-30-10 theorem that Information Technology (IT) expert Adolfo Paglinawan has uncovered.The fraud, according to Paglinawan, was perpetrated through sets of computer commands in the precinct count optical scan (PCOS) machines that gave administration Team PNoy candidates a constant 60 percent of the votes, with 30 percent going to the opposition United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) while the rest shared the 10 percent of the digitally generated votes.
The pattern, according to Paglinawan, was so uniformly applied that it cannot be a case of statistical coincidence such as what the advocates of Noynoy insist was the cause of the pattern.
But there is more than sufficient proof of that 60-30-10 pattern, especially as the election results were sent in batches, as bared by the poll watchdogs led by Paglinawan.
The commands may be revealed through an audit of the PCOS machines as well as a review of the source code by independent IT experts, which would take a year based on technology experts’ count to complete and the most practical and accurate solution is to have a full recount of the votes.
A full recount is a huge task but it will not take a month to complete. The challenge, however, is to get the administration of Noynoy to acknowledge that massive electronic cheating happened and for him to agree to a manual recount.
It is almost a certainty, however, that Noynoy will never acknowledge that automated poll cheating occurred and worse, during his watch, because he and his allies know that indeed there was massive fraud perpetrated by his administration and his complicit Commission on Elections chairman and commissioners, just as there was massive fraud during the 2010 polls.
Even the crop of senators who won in the elections would hardly all agree that they were not voted to their Senate seats but were elected as a result of massive fraud in the automated elections system (AES) provided by the Venezuelan firm Smartmatic.
Smartmatic’s involvement in the 2010 elections, which brought Noynoy to power and likewise held as having been tainted by fraud, gave more credence to suspicions on automated fraud being resurrected in the recently-held polls.
Even Noynoy’s win in 2010 is highly questionable, having been elected, not by the people but by the PCOS machines.
Despite huge questions raised in the conduct of the automated elections in 2010 and the court case that Smartmatic and its software supplier Dominion Voting Systems have in the United States, still the Comelec insisted on purchasing the PCOS-based system and with the blessings of Noynoy.
The relative speed of the automated polls indeed removed the possibility of transactions on manipulation of vote counts similar to the Hello Garci caper but it also allowed cheating in a grand scale with a small chance of detection.
That small chance should be the 60-30-10 pattern that can only be unearthed in the complicated world of computer technology by an IT expert. Statistics would have been a good alibi for the pattern had it not been so uniform in its application.
Paglinawan noted that the pattern is present in all demography and in all culturally-diverse regions of the country to have been a case of being a fluke of fate.
The call for a manual recount of the mid-term elections would definitely fall on deaf ears as those in power would likely have to face scrutiny from the public since it is the same automated polls system that gave them their current seats in government.
It is incumbent, however, that a review is undertaken on the Smartmatic AES if the same system will be used for the next presidential polls.
Built-in results would be imposing on the country yellow leaders less the need for mob takeovers for a lifetime.
