Quebec Bans Electronic Voting

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the can-we-at-least-vote-on-it dept.

gfilion writes "The Chief Electoral Officer of Québec tabled an evaluation report that makes a troubling diagnosis of the problems that occurred during the municipal elections of November 6, 2005, in some of the 162 Québec municipalities that used electronic voting. He says: "Not only did the systems fail, but the corrective measure proposed were insufficient, poorly adapted and often came too late." There was a moratorium on electronic voting prior to the November 6 election, it will be extented for future elections."

    Assuming that "Larus" is from the USA, then what is wrong is that not enough elections are bought in Quebec, and not enough Quebequais (spellink anyone? help?) are randomly attacking poor countries for dubious reasons....

    See? Complete lack of Democracy! /G
