FF ‘glossing over’ internal e-voting doubts

FIANNA FÁIL was accused last night of glossing over internal reservations on electronic voting after a leading TD’s public criticism of the system was dug up.

Just six months ago, Deputy Government Chief Whip Billy Kelleher slammed e-voting in a national newspaper as an unsafe fad that does not make sense and would undermine the democratic process.

The Cabinet is due to discuss the issue today as e-voting for local and Euro elections remains in doubt.
