The Vice presidential race has been peppered with much controversy as the Marcos camp claims that they were cheated and have asked that they will be given a chance to conduct a system audit.
According to Marcos’ legal team, they will seek the COMELEC’s permission for their own IT experts to conduct a system audit to figure out the extent of changes that the SMARTMATIC did when they change the hash code of the data packet in the COMELEC’s transparency server during election day.
