FACT CHECK: NO mismatch in ACM source codes and hash codes
WHAT WAS CLAIMED
There is a mismatch in the source code and hashcode used in the automated counting machines this election day, with the codes that passed an independent third-party audit.
OUR VERDICT
False:
The Comelec said the source code of the automatic counting machines (ACMs) has been “duly audited” and that the hash code it uses matches the one that passed the assessment of an independent third-party auditor. The version 3.4 source code mentioned in the video was the exact code that underwent independent third-party auditing. After passing the audit, it was called version 3.5, which is currently used by the ACMs this election day.
