(Text in German) https://www.nzz.ch/schweiz/informatikpanne-in-freiburg-lieber-etwas-weniger-40-und-dafuer-wieder-mehr-exakt-ld.1521039 Short summary: Computer chaos at elections with e-voting in Freiburg, Switzerland According to the timetable of the State Chancellery, the final results should have been published in the early afternoon. But then suddenly nothing worked any more, in at least two districts there were problems with the transmission of the voting results. The journalists began to add up the results from the municipalities themselves. The problem lasted more than 8 hours (apparently from 13 to 21:15). Even before all the municipalities had been counted, the CVP party leadership announced that it would appeal "in view of the confusion" if the final result was close. In other words, it no longer had absolute confidence that the result communicated would actually meet the will of the voters. -- I kindly ask you not to send me attachments in proprietary file formats, use open standards like PDF, HTML, RTF or plain text. _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list Discussion@lists.fsfe.org https://lists.fsfe.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion This mailing list is covered by the FSFE's Code of Conduct.
