E-vote lesson from US

TO those in Ireland who still believe e-voting is the best option, I would recommend the website www.bradblog.com on the fiasco of trying to register an accurate vote in the USA.

Unless the machines already purchased are seen to be fixed and independently verified, they should be scrapped regardless of how much taxpayers’ money has been spent on them. Politicians should be the last people to decide on such issues — that’s akin to allowing somebody to decide the outcome of their own job interview.
