Defective US Poll Machines Made From Manila, Phil.

Defective voting machines used in a US congressional election in the state of Florida have been traced to a factory in the Philippines, an American news anchor has exposed in a 13-minute Web news clip.

In his HDNet report, Dan Rather was able to trace the touchscreen voting machines produced by Ivotronic Touchscreen to a Manila factory of Teletech Corp. Teletech has been identified as owned by a businessman named Edwin Ching. Reports said that Ching is well-connected.

Rather looked into the origin of the voting machines after losing US congressional candidate Christine Jennings questioned the result of the election last year before the US Congress. Jennings blamed her loss to Ivotronic's voting machines.

One of the defects, as shown on the news clip, was the machine's tendency to register a vote for a candidate different from the voter's choice. Some Teletech employees interviewed by Rather revealed that the factory was more concerned on "quantity" rather than quality when these were on the assembly line.

An employee who declined to show his face on camera told Rathers that factory officials ignored workers' complaints about several defects in the machines. The employee said these defective machines were still shipped to the US despite the problems encountered during assembly.

The employee added that the assembly of the machines were rushed to meet a shipping deadline. Eddie Vibar, a former Teletech engineer, also exposed the literal "manual shake test" being practiced in the factory. He said the shake test is used to check for loose bolts.

ABS-CBN News correspondent Paul Henson went to the Teletech factory in Manila for a company statement. He, however, was refused entry by the security guard who said there are no officials available for interview.

Henson reported that the company's signage indicate that it is ISO certified, which means it has passed international standards. Rather's report has alarmed voters not only in America, but also in the Philippines. The Philippine government has been aiming to automate the presidential election in 2010.
