Ireland Rejects E-Voting for Upcoming Elections 192
colmmacc writes "Following months of lobbying by groups such as Irish Citizens for Trustworthy Evoting and a damning and comprehensive report by Ireland's Commission on Electronic Voting, the Irish Minister for the Environment has bowed to pressure and conceded that the system has not been proven safe and has decided not to use Evoting for the forthcoming elections on June 11th.. This is a very welcome move following 6 months of indignation on the part of the Minister and refusals to meet with concerned groups."

Unless the system ate somebody or gave someone herpes I'm not sure if it's accurate to say that it isn't safe. Perhaps he was looking for the word "reliable" ?

Ahem, yes, Ireland is indeed no longer part of the UK, apart from Northern Ireland of course, which remained a part of the UK after 1922. I'm guessing you're one of those few from the US who not only has eloquence problems, but also deficiencies in geographical and political knowledge.
