Pardon me if I might be out of line here but is Diebold the company that manufactures the voting machines for Smartmatic? And if my memory serves me right, this same company (Diebold) whose top brass' are convicted felons because of large scale fraud, right? Are the machines that Comelec the same controversial machines described here --> http://www.votetrustusa.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=73&Itemid=162 ? Take a look at the findings here --> http://www.votetrustusa.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2980&Itemid=51 . Smartmatic is saying that the machine has 10% margin of error, what happens then if margin of victory between 1st and 2nd is 10%? Manual recount?
