There are lot of problems that we have to deal with on this automated election thing.
First is the COMELEC are still cleaning the old registry and listing up new and returning voters, but the rough estimate is that there will be more than 40 million ready to cast their vote on May 2010. Secondly, the time of the teachers who will guard the machines. They have to undergo orientations to practice the new procedure and it takes time. According to DepEd, teachers are not yet ready for using the counting machines.
Third, are these machines can ensure clean voting? accurate?
Fourth, is this easy to use because we all know that not all voters especially in the rural areas knew how to use computers.In some parts of the Philippines, there are many voters who have not seen even a typewriter, much less used a computer.In the name of automation, they now have to deal with a new-fangled machine. Even in the filling out of Lotto bet cards and in the similar shade-the-circle answering mode in college admission tests, many lottery and test cards still get invalidated. Will the computerized voting procedure be any easier?
Fifth would be the financial problems. These machines costs big prices. As I've heard, it costs less than 7 billion and 7 billion is a big money. There are many projects that we can use of it; in education, food and shelters, poor.
There would be more problems but I'll focus on the major problems.
As you can see, I'm not that "yes" on these automated election thing. I'm not saying that this is bad, what i want to say is when you decide on something, think twice; the positive and negative effects and what would be the contributions of that decision in the country, society and in the people.

I'm so sad to say that this automated election will cause again the powerful leaders to be in evil. That's why, I am hundred percent sure that this has already anomalous things. Oh God, please enlighten those sinners to change.They must know that it's not on the material things and power we have here in world, but it is in the honest service and love of our fellowmen. "God knows the truth, but wait."
