Sunday, October 16, 2016 The electronic vote, a political suicideBy Mempo GiardinelliFor the HeraldIt is widely known, proverbial even, that the Argentine political class commits suicide every now and then. That is why the government is now seeking to hastily apply the single electronic ballot system throughout the country starting with next year’s elections. Electronic voting is, at this moment, the greatest immediate danger facing Argentine democracy. A true detritus of the wonderful cybernetic progress of these times, the single electronic ballot system is being questioned and has faced backlash throughout the world because it fundamentally thwarts the voters’ control over the elections. This is why England, Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland and Finland have already banned electronic voting after trying it out for a few years.
