Electronic voting on Q and A

PRO Paul Whelan spoke this evening, from the audience, on Questions and Answers. [View the segment here in Real Video]. He referred to two issues:

• the obsolete operating system on which the counting system operates (Windows ’98), which is at odds with the government’s desire to be ‘cutting edge’ (and I’ve questioned, in the past, having that as an aim of such a major change to our electoral process).
• the ongoing costs of electronic voting, in terms of storage in particular.
