Comment Re:How voting in Québec works. (Score 1) 222
The canadian government is about to vote a law making identification mandatory at all federal elections. In the last few federal elections it's been common to see a reporter going voting 8-10 times, taking the place of other voters.
As for the electronic voting, the worst place was the city of Québec itself, where it took at elast 2-3 hours and in some cases, 3 weeks (!), to get the official results out. The only company that didn't make machines that used scanned paper ballots (as in Québec City) was the one who lost the most in all this.
To our american neighbours: Why is it only one company, Diebold, seem to be making all the e-voting machines?
