    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.

    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)
    Actual morality is doing what is right regardless of what you're told. Religious morality is doing what you're told, regardless of if it's right.

    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

    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.
