So my theory was: Having a federal, shared solution would allow more money to spent on this. Thus avoiding embarassing fuckups like this one.

Anyway, I just think you should scrap all electronic voting; your local regional governments clearly don't have the chops to avoid idiotic things like this. Just go back to paper ballots. They work fine!

We still have paper ballots. This whole story is only about the software that calculates the numbers announced on election night (i.e. does a bit of summation of the manual counts).

Ah.
