Ireland Rejects E-Voting for Upcoming Elections

Posted by michael on from the no-vote-for-you dept.

colmmacc writes "Following months of lobbying by groups such as Irish Citizens for Trustworthy Evoting and a damning and comprehensive report by Ireland's Commission on Electronic Voting, the Irish Minister for the Environment has bowed to pressure and conceded that the system has not been proven safe and has decided not to use Evoting for the forthcoming elections on June 11th.. This is a very welcome move following 6 months of indignation on the part of the Minister and refusals to meet with concerned groups."

    Too bad for the US. I can't be the only one that feels that, come November, we will have a president that once again did not get a majority vote.
