I caught this bit on the Philippine Star newspaper's website:
Monday, June 30, 2008 A total of 50 personnel of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) have been trained on the operation of the automated counting and voting machines that will be used in the Aug. 11 elections in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
Ah, the automated counting and voting machines. Yes, I remember these. I think that some of these were meant to be used in the last presidential elections. But something happened, and they weren't - not ready or controversial or both.
I'm all for these things. This way, cheating won't waste so much paper.
The full story can be found here.
