Today was the election for the next batch of Student Council members. I didn’t vote. I got to check out the tallying before I went home.

I wonder why they never thought of using computerized voting machines. It would be just like the real thing. Specially if the losing party claims that they were cheated.

They could’ve tried Halalan, an open source voting system maintained by UnPLUG (UP Linux Users’ Group).

The slow counting is probably more appealling because it’s more exciting. Not to mention that it’s so much fun to watch your opponent experience a slow and painful loss. Imagine every strike at your chart as an individual stab to his/her gut. Then after the results are announced, you shake your opponent’s hand with a grin on your face.

And... NOW we know. Thanks for the info. We'll definitely consider this for the batch and course representative voting in the first term. No comment on the "stab" thing. :)
