The Makati Business Club (MBC), headed by yellow baller wristband wearers" along with some "civil society" groups lobbied (unsuccessfully) for a parallel manual count of votes cast during the May 10, 2010 Philippine national elections. What is the point of automation if one will still insist on a manual count? Isn't the point of automation to speed up the canvass and lessen the tensions (and opportunities for cheating) brought about by the long process characterized by manual counting? Or is this the intention?
Are they creating a scenario similar to the 2000 US presidential elections where each paper ballot in Florida was scrutinized and the intention of the voter questioned? Do they want a manual count so they can delay the proclamation of a winner long enough to organize a coup; or in Noynoy's own words "another People Power"? Can they not accept defeat?
