Was your vote counted?

I am writing this article on Election Day. By the time this comes out in this newspaper, we may already be looking at some trends, even if we may not yet know who the election winners are, especially for the national contests. I can only hope that those who will do our country good will eventually win. But whatever it is, we further hope that the results would be truly reflective of the people’s will.

Let me talk a bit about whether the automated elections on Election Day, May 9, were credible or not. Over the years, I have often been asked that very question, “Do I think the Smartmatic system counted our votes correctly?”
