Linux Under The Spotlight As We Prepare For A Chaos Bound National Elections
,----[ Quote ]
| The photo caption reads: "A Smartmatic worker
| inserts one of 76,000 CF cards recalled for
| glitches and formatted in its warehouse in
| Laguna." He is clearly using Ubuntu Linux so I
| wondered if the system used by Smartmatic Inc.
| is entirely based on Linux and other Free and
| Open Source software.
|
| I once wished for an Open Source and Linux-
| based automated voting system in order to help
| minimize election fraud, but since our corrupt
| politicians will do whatever they can to cheat
| and win, I'm losing hope. Before I'll go, I
| would like to quote this comment from our
| reader:
|
| "All electronic systems do is add another
| layer of potential fraud, which is harder to
| spot than before. Also it's far harder to
| identify who has committed the fraud than when
| paper votes are used. What's the point? Linux
| would do best to stay well clear - why get
| tarred with that brush eh?"

| The Philippines 2010 Election will be using an
| electronic counting machine for the first time.
| The Linux-powered machines were provided by
| Smartmatic and the ROMs are managed by (and
| supposedly programmed in) Ubuntu.
