Press statement of Senator Loren Legarda

On SC rules in favor of automated polls in 2010

The Supreme Court decision upholding the legality of the automation of the 2010 election should lay to rest any and all opposition to the undertaking. After all, an automated poll, when done right and when its processes are zealously guarded by our people, should help ensure a clean, honest and orderly election.

But just the same, we must not let our guard down because there are no foolproof electoral systems, even the most technologically advanced ones, to attacks by people who are determined to subvert the will of the electorate.
