Cynic, pessimist, or just plain stupid?

A few days ago, the automated absentee voting was held in Hong Kong. According to Makati Rep. Teodoro Locsin Jr., co-chair of the joint congressional committee on the automated elections, there were a couple of glitches in the event. Two machines stalled due to the cold weather there. It simply needed to dry out, and after an hour, it functioned properly.

Now, there were two voters who were disenfranchised (ballots were spoiled). The first one is because s/he "accidentally smudged her ballot due to pen stains". OK, understandable, but I hope it won't happen here. The other one, however, made me pause and think for a while. I don't know if this is human nature or inherent to us Filipinos. Anyway, what happened to the other voter was that s/he "deliberately crumpled the ballot to see if the machine would reject..." The machine did not accept the ballot. (Source here.) Hmmm...

Ang masasabi ko lang sa voter na yun:
