Electronic voting is history

Today a group of people advised our government to stop using the electronic voting system we used up to now.

They advised to use a different system of voting: let the people make a choice on a computer, print that choice on a piece of paper, put it in a box and count them at the end of voting period.

Until the system is ready we will probably vote with pen and paper. I’m very happy for this decision, not only because the voting computers we used up to now did not have a paper trail, but they contained closed source software.
