Electronic Voting in Ireland

The United States isn’t the only country with a controversy over voting technology. See this report from RTE News, reporting that:

An independent commission has told the Dail that electronic voting machines which cost 52 million [euros] can be used again, but only if millions of euros are spent on modifications and new software.
The Commission on Electronic Voting said it is satisfied with the security and accuracy of the machines, but that the separate software to count the votes is not suitable and should be replaced.
Its report, which was laid before the Dail this afternoon, also calls for further testing and improved security measures.

More on the commission’s analysis is available in this story in the Irish Examiner.
