Comelec eyes charges against AES oppositors

HERE’S one for the books: A Commission on Elections (Comelec) department filed charges against personalities opposing automated polls before the Comelec en banc after a former Comelec chairman submitted an affidavit to the department, which was conducting a fact-finding investigation against the oppositors.

On Wednesday, the Comelec law department filed formal complaints before the Comelec en banc against presidential aunt Margarita “Tingting” Cojuangco, Archbishop Ramon Arguelles, former senator Francisco Tatad , former Defense Secretary Norberto Gonzales and several others for violation of election laws, including tampering with and stealing of official ballots.
