--the press lined up on the side of the president;
--news was created that indicated that she was going to beat the charges;
--the legislature failed to act, the Supreme Court failed to act, & Arroyo was winning;

Election cheating was massive in the 2004 polls, with the admission this time coming from a Commission on Elections (Comelec) commissioner, strengthening even more the doubts over the legitimacy of President Arroyo’s claimed victory during the 2004 elections for a fresh six-year mandate, as the Senate revived the “Hello Garci” wiretaping issue yesterday.

Two separate studies conducted by analysts and experts on the election results showed that alleged padding and shaving of votes in the presidential race in favor of the Chief Executive ranged from 661,000 to 1.2 million votes that showed discrepancies and fabrications of votes.

Findings on the tampering of votes corresponded with the recorded “official” one million-vote lead of Mrs. Arroyo over her strongest rival, the late Fernando Poe Jr., as the data gathered in these studies showed.

With the presentation at the Senate, even Comelec Commissioner Resurrection Borra was forced to confirm for the first time that there was massive cheating in the last national polls.
