I woke up early in this Sunday morning and about to cook my pancakes and decided to listen to the AM radio and tuned in to this radio program of Joey Lina and heard that they are discussing the automated voting machine and the new voting system, a rep. from PPRCV and COMELEC commissioner Gregorio Larrazabal was there sharing the procedure and process of the new voting system.
I heard they answered some questions like about hacking the voting machine.
Commissioner Larrazabal gave a good answer that he said that it is impossible to hack the voting machine because it is a stand alone machine, and it doesn't connect or doesn't have any computer machine in it. There's a program inside and it requires a lot of access to look at it and also its hard to get one because the machine is protected by the COMELEC.
The machine transmit data via a signal and it has 1-2 minutes transmission, so if you see the process flow, the hacker will not have a chance to hack in to tamper the data and manipulate the voting machine because there is no good software to hack in.. well it will only work if you are a machine from the future just like in Terminator : Rise of the machine movies.
I have recorded the radio feature and I will upload it here soon.
