Hi Richard,

Voting computers violate basic principles of elections by making vote counting completely intransparent. That is something that John Oliver (as much as I like him) fails to mention altogether. I am glad voting machines have been deemed unconstitutional in Germany. I hope other countries will follow suit. It also makes financial sense because counting paper votes is way cheaper than machines that need to be replaced every couple of years. > We used to have a GNU package, GNU FREE, for holding elections. > We decided, the developer and I, to withdraw it because software > should not be used for that purpose. I think such a tool could be useful for within organizations or in case where the stakes are lower than in a political election. There may be cases where the convenience of voting online may be more important than complete transparency. Happy hacking!
