Group Sues To Stop German E-Voting

Posted by kdawson on from the we-don't-like-them-either dept.

kRemit writes "The German hacker group Chaos Computer Club today sued the German State of Hessen to prevent the use of electronic voting machines (Google translation) in the upcoming elections on January 27. This comes as a follow-up to the Dutch initiative 'We don't trust voting machines,' which succeeded in banning the same type of voting machines in the Netherlands."

    My predictions for comments on this article:

    1. Two words that I will see over and over again "Paper ballots" and arguements for them.

    3. Another word... Diebold.
    4. "The Canadian system is better because..."

    in Australia we get the election result on the night (except for seats which are incredibly close) a few hours after polling booths close.

    Not always true:
    - Owning to our penal-colony heritage, pencils are often stolen early in the voting day, resulting in delays
    - Sometimes, a dingo will eat the ballot-boxes, delaying counting while we wait for the dingo to pass the ballots through his system
