Ah, the joys of sober second thought.
From Silicon.com:
The Open Rights Group (ORG) had a team of 25 officially accredited election observers at the e-voting and e-counting pilots and has expressed “deep concern” about the use of the technology in a report of its findings.
Five councils offered internet and telephone voting and six authorities were approved to use electronic counting technology at the May local elections.
Numerous problems were observed with the e-voting technologies by the ORG. In Swindon laptops and live electronic voting registers were unreliable and kept crashing, while in Rushmoor an online ballot paper temporarily included a Labour party logo next to the Conservative party candidate.
