GMANews.TV Roxas' counsel continued to object on the opening of the COCs, insisting on the high percentage of null votes. Lawyer Roland Solis said there is no way for them to verify whether the null votes were no vote, undervote or technical glitch. "The Smartmatic has this functionality where the voter could have been able to validate whether or not his vote was properly read by machine however the Comelec disabled this functionality, the only reason given was it’s too expensive," he said.
