Reacting to news reports that Smartmatic-TIM has actually discovered the existence of “ghost” precincts after their survey of polling areas, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) through its spokesperson James Jiminez belied the allegations.
“It was a regular report and it was misinterpreted as ghost precincts because of findings that supposedly so and so number was not found by the team. It’s as simple as that. The report itself does not make any claim that there are missing precincts.”
ABC-CBN/Newsbreak reported that there exist “ghost” precincts in Metro Manila and other parts of the Philippines citing their source as Smartmatic-TIM. The report says that there are 57 polling voting centers that surveyors failed to find.
Smartmatic-TIM surveyors said it had already submitted to Comelec the list and report of missing precincts for proper action.
