Same here, although this may change. What is
absolutely bizarre about e-voting is that gets
implemented without any input from computer
scientists, security experts or programmers, all of
whome think of it as a very bad idea with very few
benefits. This has something to do with the way
computer technology is perseived, no official or
political leader in his right mind would think of
commisioning a bridge without consulting a
construction engineer, but when it comes to computer
systems everybody is an expert.
