Cards in extra voting machines contained data, Bongbong claims

THE legal team of former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has asked the Supreme Court sitting as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal to furnish them with the results of the decryption of the supposedly “unused” SD cards found to have data during the stripping of voting equipment used in the May elections.

In a six-page manifestation, George Erwin Garcia, counsel of Marcos, said the fact that many of the supposedly “unused” SD cards were found to have data during the stripping of 1,356 units of contingency vote counting machines (VCMs) bolstered their position that mere physical examination was not enough to prove that they were not used in the last elections.
