Martin Cullen’s arogance in this matter is both breathtaking and intolerable!
This is not about being technologically advanced -I’ve spent my career in I.T. and much of the best-informed objections to electronic voting are coming from those in the tech sector, because they know exactly how easily these systems can be fooled.
There is a VERY lively debate in the U.S. about this right now, and the jury is still very much OUT. The biggest producer of electronic voting systems in the U.S. has admitted to multiple flaws in even their best systems. It is PREMATURE to introduce this in Ireland !

Voters Unite! Participate in Project Myth Breaker
Many local election officials don’t have the information they need to make wise decisions about voting equipment. They hear many conflicting stories, and it’s hard to tell truth from myth. Here’s your opportunity to help.
Join with other voting advocates across the nation to hand-deliver eye-opening information to local election officials. Educate them with:
– the real scoop about HAVA misunderstandings
– examples of recent election disasters
– price comparisons of voting systems
– hidden costs of DREs
– election complexities added by the use of DREs
– alternative HAVA-compliant voting systems
– and more!
Simply download “Myth Breakers,” print it, and take it to your county election official’s office. Read more about the project at http://www.votersunite.org/takeaction.htm
Be part of the nation-wide kick-off event at 1:00 pm EST, Tuesday, April 20 at your county election official’s office. For details about the event, see http://www.votersunite.org/takeaction/kickoff.htm
Together we can show election officials, the media, and the American people that the concern about electronic voting is widespread throughout the nation and based on FACTS.
