Internet voting will encourage the messers to vote. By having to go out of your way to vote, it ensures that you actually care about politics, and you are not just someone that happened to be on the 'net and cast some random or stupid vote.
Can anyone confirm the fact that the Irish government doesnt have the source code for the Irish E-voting software?

E-voting - an extremley bad idea and one that needs to be resisited. there is a mailing list operated by Margaret Mc Galey who has published on this subject and will be campaigning on it.

As for internet voting - impossible to satisfy two requiremenst for fair and free elections namely, that the ballot is secret and secure.

Internet voting does not make these two requirements compatable.
