Its a good job we don't have electronic voting .............

[fintanr]

Speaking of democracy in action, is there any site which has a list of all the constituencies and the most up to date official count ? I may have missed it somewhere on this site .

There is the wiki, but it seems to be acting up a bit, electionsireland.org has about a twenty minute lag, and I got annoyed with clicking on the rte website and created a set of links directly to each constituency.

You can get it on my blog, or for more easy perusal here....

What's the rush?

Not rush, accuracy. eVoting had the potential to deliver a more accurate result when it came to transfers - except that for some reason, someone asked for the machines to be specifically programmed to pick votes to transfer at random rather than according to the statistical breakdown of the preferences of the voters.

Why more people don't know this, I don't know.

Problem was, the eVoting system foisted on us was not trustworthy, was built on a toy database, was not verifiable in any way, was not easily customisable, and it's results could not later be checked.

That is a problem with e-voting in general not just in ireland.

Imagine had electronic voting been in place for this election. The alternative opposition would be crying foul by now. Accusations of corrupt software and rigging by Fianna Fail would be rife. Still, they can always blame the registers.

With electronic voting no matter what the result, there would always be uncertainty due to the complete lack of transparency in the particular system FF bought. (no paper trail = no confidence)

Thanks, fintanr. That's very good work.

I'm not going to post it elsewhere without your say-so but it's a bit lost in this thread. Maybe you could post it in a thread (even a new thread) in the Elections forum: http://www.politics.ie/viewforum.php?f=97

You could also ask the mods to stickie it maybe ?

I also found aertel to be good. It has the candidates sorted by vote totals and also has the constituencies that have results marked in yellow.
