Correcting a wrong with a bigger wrong. That’s what the Comelec will do in selling its old unreliable voting machines, then buying costlier but equally unreliable ones.
The Comelec is considering selling its 82,200 precinct count optical scanners (PCOS) to a country that is automating its own polls.
Chairman Sixto Brillantes said the commissioners are studying the direct-recording electronic (DRE) machines.
Computer experts and anti-graft crusaders instantly slammed the plan, for various reasons. The former have been denouncing the PCOS for opacity in recognizing and counting the votes. The latter see the DRE as six times more expensive.
