Thousands of lawyers should occupy posts inside polling precincts to help those whose voters' receipts do not match their ballot.
This is an occurrence that should not be easily dismissed by the voters. In fact, if there are hundreds who experience the above, then the total votes from that precinct could be questioned for validity.
And that is where lawyers are needed. They could help the voters prepare affidavits (maybe multiple copies should be made available before voting time) which they will submit to the Comelec. But the lawyers and the voters should have their own copies. In this manner, they could question after the elections the correctness of the tally of votes.
Voting is a sacred, serious experience that should be handled with great alertness and watched with diligence.
May the saboteurs be forewarned.
