I read two articles today, and the contrasts are shocking. In the first, dreams of voting thru internet, touch-screens, and a $6 million voting kiosk:
Will high-tech save or sink future elections?
In the second, electronic voting stations for $400, 99% same-day tabulation, and 1.5% breakdown/problems. And that has already happened:
Brazil Sets an Example in Computerizing Its National Elections
Isn't just a clear effort to make a problem look difficult, get millions to solve it, and then ten years later do what has been done elswhere for much less?
The fact they used the new electronic system to elect a president with 5-th grade education just makes it more interesting
