India Starts All-Electronic National Elections

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the future-of-democracy dept.

fantomas writes "Forget the problems of e-voting in a state in some middling sized western country as recently reported by Slashdot. The world's largest democracy is about to go to the polling stations and vote for a new government using all-electronic voting systems. Will it work? Will the USA follow if all goes to plan? Can any readers from India comment on how it seems to be going?"

    But Americans are not eager to have their fates decided by foreign voters, especially if those voters are using easily compromised devices made by shady corporations.

    If you distrust government like any good American should, you're going to distrust a world government twice as much. Sorry, it's just common sense.

    India is now the economy in the world which grows the fastest. They take the jobs of hard working americans, because they are so many and can afford to live in caves. Still, most people around here envy the indians. So do I.
