Vote Report PH: The Gist So Far in Mapping the 2010 Philippine Elections

Total Registered Voters printed on the National Canvass Report: 153,902,003!

While COMELEC has 50,723,733 registered voters, the server being used to canvass votes for partylist and senators generated 153,902,003 registered voters!

SMARTMATIC replied that the huge descrepancy will not affect the canvassing results.

But from a technical standpoint, important data like the registered voter should be system generated. If the system spew out such number, it means they have that equivalent number of registered voters. Unless they are manually entering such number which is more dangerous.
