While the 2010 Election was generally peaceful and the results came in fast, it doesn't mean the results were correct. I am referring to:

http://electionresults.ibanangayon.ph/res_reg5808114.html
http://electionresults.ibanangayon.ph/res_reg5808113.html
http://electionresults.ibanangayon.ph/res_reg5808112.html
http://electionresults.ibanangayon.ph/res_reg5808111.html
http://electionresults.ibanangayon.ph/res_reg5808110.html

These results are impossible and could not possibly happen. This is just for 5 clustered precincts. The effect of this mistake for a hundred CP is unimaginable lest a thousand. So i whipped out a small script to find other precincts where results are "questionable". The script basically checks for the "percentage" of votes garnered for a particular candidate. If it goes beyond the pre-configured threshold, it flags the file and makes a log.

Also, you need a local mirror of http://electionresults.ibanangayon.ph which can be easily accomplished with:

wget --mirror –w 2 –-convert-links http://electionresults.ibanangayon.ph

If you are on PLDT, use http://124.105.166.195/, for GlobeTelecom, use http://222.127.18.105/

Remember to edit $SearchFor, $mirror and $threshold to suit for needs.

UPDATE: (May 17, 2010)

I ran the script on my local mirror and here is what I found. (note that my local is not complete yet and scanning is not yet over)
