Sotto bares more poll anomalies

SENATE Majority Leader Vicente Sotto 3rd on Wednesday claimed nearly 4 percent of election returns, representing at least 1.7 million votes, were “not transmitted electronically” during the 2016 polls.

Sotto, in a privilege speech, continued his exposé of supposed irregularities in the 2016 elections, heaping two more issues on the Commission on Elections (Comelec) and its supplier Smartmatic—the incomplete transmission of election returns and the existence of four “queuing servers.”
