Anyone have specifications on the hardware or images of the machines themselves? Are they touch screen, or are they button operated? Just can't seem to find too much info on the actual specifications of them.

Would be interested in finding another use for them rather than in the bin. ]]> https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2055546638/e-voting-good-idea-or-just-a-waste-of-time-and-money-read-thread-before-voting Thu, 23 Apr 2009 18:19:53 +0000 After Hours AckwelFoley 2055546638@/discussions
What id like to establish among members here is to wheather you feel that the concept of e voting is a good or bad idea in general, regardless of the mistakes that were made with them in Ireland. Its obvious that there is a lack of transparency and that they are not suitable for use here, but that perhaps is alot to do with the particular machine or system that was purchased for use.

Im adding a poll.

The purpose of the poll is to determine if you agree with the concept of e voting, you may not approve of the debacle of the e voting machines and the maagment of their implemintation that has being well documented now here in Ireland, but if you think that if it were properly managed and designed to suit or constitution and have relivent transparency would you like to see them used?

Mods: Ive posted this here rather than the political forum to get the opinions of people that would be of a more broad representation of the population rather than people with a particular interest in politics

Personally, im undecided. I can see both positives and negatives in them.]]> https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2055485511/government-close-to-scrapping-7-500-unused-electronic-voting-machines Tue, 10 Feb 2009 23:12:35 +0000 After Hours DonJose 2055485511@/discussions

50 million is the approximate amount 30,000 low paid Public Sector workers, those on under €30k a year will contribute with the new levy.

What consultants were used because you know our Gov love them.

Is there any connection or holiday offical function where Gov were wined and dined and lured in.

What politicians trousered brown envelopes.

Why does our Gov decide something, hand over cash, and then wonder afterwards if it is viable.

Sorry don't mean to hijack other thread.]]>
