Problems with the ‘pure manual system’By GUS LAGMANhome/Opinion/Op-Ed Columns/Problems with the ‘pure manual system’Part 2TO be sure, there were serious problems with the pure manual system, too, as previously hinted at, the biggest being the many weeks it took to complete the process and proclaim the election winners.
