Voting claptrap
A preposterous report in today's El Mundo: the - small - town of Jun in the province of Granada will use remote electronic voting "for the first time in the world" and will thus [their bold] "get ahead of the US project". Integrity guarantees in the autonomous (regional) elections in March will apparently be achieved through the issue of a card and password.
First, this is hardly the first such project. Second, how on earth are they guaranteeing integrity, the security, of the voting system? Have these people not been reading what's been going on in the rest of the world? The only thing that appears important to the project sponsors - or at least to the journalist reporting the projec t- is being ahead of somewhere else.
Who are the people who run these projects? And the people who write this stuff?
