Konversationen

Inglismaal Stratford upon Avon nimelises linnas toimusid "e-valimised". Seal peeti "e-valimiste" all silmas tavalisi pabervalimisi koos spetssüsteemiga, mis hääletuse pabersedeleid pidi kokku lugema (skänner + tarkvara). Taheti kõige paremat, aga välja tuli nagu alati.

Süsteemi enese kohta kirjutatakse järgmist:

To begin, the contracts were not awarded until a scant three months before the election. Because of this, the contractors, Software AG and Dominion Voting had no time for testing. In fact, live tests weren't carried out until the day before the election in Stratford, and election day itself in Warwick. Even then, only 280 and 400 test votes were run through the machines, respectively.
