Voting is too important to tamper with

I WILL never be party to the charade of unverifiable computerised voting and an "independent tribunal" will not do it.

Voting is too important to tamper with

The argument that it will aid in sorting out proportional vote preferences is a complete red herring: All we need to do, once the votes are reliably counted and adjudicated, is to feed the results into a computer, in public, and it will distribute preferences for us in a fraction of a second.

Anybody else can repeat the figures on their own computer if they so wish. Anybody familiar with computers knows that a program can be tampered with. What one person can program, another can hack into.
