I remember that time, it was the only time in my life I was ever concerned enough to call into Ireland's most popular radio show "Joe Duffy", to raise my concerns about the rollout... They described me on air as a "computer expert against e-voting" ;-) I think I was a CompSci student at the time, but close enough...

As I recall a lot of ordinary folks were for it originally, until the pitfalls were raised.

You talked to Joe!

The Joe Duffy show is quite strange, because I've heard people of all ages and all demographics calling into it. It really is the way the nation talks to itself. Or, at least, it was, when I was listening ... fifteen years or so ago.

Yep, this was circa 2002...
