That is why cenpeg (manalastas group) sued comelec. I got lost on what transpired on that but the election went through. Dunay mga nipalyar nga makina (technically) but the percentage is just quiet minuscule @ 0.07 percent. So in general Linux can be trusted to do job. Ug dihay problema sa cards it was not a problem on the linux per se. So I don't see any problem if linux will still be used in the next coming elections. The fact that linux code is quite arcane compared to the windows world makes new generation programmers stay away from it. Kato rang mga klarong mogama ug code ang mogamit ana. Unless dunay inside job sa smartmatic kana siguro but lisod na mahitabo kay nakataya ilang reputasyon mao nga I don't quite believe in the Koala bear story kay pila ra tawon naka balo ug linux sa Pinas. Naa man gani pero di kaayo daghan kumpara sa windows developers. So chances of writing rogue code (by the hired ITs) to sabotage the election is quite daunting a task.
