In businesses, using more capital means employing less labor. That is the usual trade-off. The question in changing the technology used in certain businesses is whether there would be less costs in employing more labor with less capital or the other way around.
According to Republic Act No. 8436 (R.A. No. 8436) as amended, the automated election system is a system using appropriate technology which has been demonstrated in the voting, counting, consolidating, canvassing, and transmission of election result, and other electoral process.
Assuming that government thinks like an ordinary business, this would probably mean that less man hours would be required in conducting an automated elections. However, this 2010 is too significant. Since the technology is new to the Philippines, what would be the chances that less people would actually be working on it? Probably less man hours would be required per individual, although I doubt that less people would be employed.
So many seem to scared of the system. After all, how sure are we that the data transmitted are going to be the same as the data received by the Comelec? We already know that they are crackable.
More capital and less labor? Probably not.
