Well, my candidate had lost the election because the current Mayor has a showcase of projects to which made her gain more votes
My Camera phone has Astigmatism.
We use automated counting machines here in my country so unlike in the past where it will take days for you to learn who had won in the local seats within your province or Municipality or City for that matter, now it will only take a few hours until the result will show-up in the official government site (COMELEC) for people to see who had won and lost the election.
The only thing that is a problem for some people are the long queues in the polling sites, not knowing where in that particular place where you are listed to vote, and then if the counting machine had a problem which happens but often resolved right away. The heat of the day depending on what month the election year will happen is also one factor about making it hard for some people to vote. But overall the counting of votes is more reliable and fast and it is a great thing to happen in our voting system here in my country as it saves time and literal manpower particularly to the teachers which are appointed to do this sacred task.
Anyway, last night as I checked on who had won in the Mayoralty position, I saw that the current mayor had retained her power. Even here in our barangay/barrio she had won, and even if the second place took the votes of the third candidate, the margin is big enough for the current Mayor to win the election.
I am really not surprised because her competitor is an older lady and I should say lacks the charisma compared to the younger Mayor which I think pulled the votes from youth voters. The current mayor had made sure that she had a showcase of projects which she can show her constituents why she deserves to retain her power and that I think really made her win.
It is a fact that the current mayoress had made lots of things which somewhat has a useful value for our town like improving the town's wet market, the establishment of a fast food restaurant and grocery store, the establishment of a dialysis center but is operated by a private company, the sprucing of the Municipal building, and other projects that I do not totally know about.
These main factors had made people to think that if she can do these projects for a comparatively short amount of time, then maybe she can do more good things in the future for our town. Their supporters also told the people here via social media that the former mayors which ruled the town for 18 years were not able to these things and that I think is the factor that gained her the necessary number of votes to retain her seat as our town mayor along with her whole line-up of town board members or councilors.
Well for me, me and my mother will just forget about requesting assistance from the office of the mayor because definitely we will not get it. But it is a great thing that I am not reliant anymore from other people's help for the reason that God is always on my side based on the unspeakable gifts that I received from the support, mercy, and grace of God. I already graduated from requesting assistance from politicians but because of my disability issues and i was just saved by my luck in helping myself in the most peculiar way possible which I wasn't thinking or planned to happens but it had become a great part of my life now.
Considering that I really have no skills nor I have the literal power to do a certain work but with just a working brain and my ability to practice this niche we call "blockchain social media, a written blog hobby/work which I really enjoy doing from the last eight years already and thankfully gave me a success which only happens I think if you are just very lucky but I know in my heart that of course God himself is always there for me for the reason that all had fallen to its proper places for me. So with this kind of empowerment, I no longer need the help of politicians for the matter, because I included God in my life, thanks a million to God forever, Amen.

We only had those machines once.. It cost a lot of money, all thrown down the drain. They gave up on it because they said the system could be hacked. Now we vote with a pencil. It's easier this way because the papers with votes can be thrown away.
