At least we'd know by now. The waiting is killing me.

Well there's no doubt that where people are expecting one result, and get another, it is good to have a system that people have confidence in.
Ah it's the spectacle of democracy in action. What's the rush? Dail doesn't have to reconvene for about a fortnight. I'd say there's time enough to get the counting done.

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.

damn right. it woulda been sh1te if e-voting had been adpoted. The oul pencil does the job grand. However the people have proven that €52 million of their own money flushed into the Suir really doesn't matter... aren't we great?
We need to radically change every system that has enabled the wholesale destruction of the Irish landscape, rural and urban. There is no time for incremental step by step measures. The systems have failed utterly and the only hope for a real recovery requires the rule book to be torn up completely.
i read last week that they spent 15 million on the pencils, much better value than the machines
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.Originally Posted by fergalr
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.
