Lawyer Alfredo Lazaro Jr., spokesman for Mega Pacific Consortium (MPC), said one vote-counting machine can read at least 50 ballots per minute and can accommodate 400 ballots per loading.


"Its reading speed capability is complemented by its 100 percent reading accuracy as certified by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST)," Lazaro added.

Why disturb the peace to force a quick turnover when the May 2004 elections are just six short months away? If the opposition wants to change the sitting President, the best way to do this is to field candidates who can do better than the incumbent.
