Ireland rejects electronic voting

Clearing out old news articles: Ireland decides to end their electronic voting and counting project for financial and political reasons. Quote:

The Minister noted that “the public in broad terms appear to be satisfied with the present paper-based system and we must recognise this in deciding on the future steps to be taken with the electronic voting system.” The Minister also acknowledged that “the assurance of public confidence in the democratic system is of paramount importance and it is vital to bring clarity to the present situation”.

Maybe they've noticed our own declining confidence in electronic voting machines.
