THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) will include the money laundering case filed in the United States against its former chief Andres Bautista, when it files a motion for reconsideration of the Supreme Court ruling that it had committed a grave abuse of discretion when it disqualified Smartmatic from bidding for all automated election systems.

"[We will include these court documents] because this time, it is out in the open. It is now public, officially admitted in court; we will definitely include that if we file the motion for reconsideration," said Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia in the Kapihan sa Manila Hotel media forum on Wednesday.
