[governance] Issues concerning standing IGC members

[Yehuda Katz]

Carlos,

We are discussing Voting via the "Internet Voting" as opposed to "Electronic
Voting" (Poll Hardware / DRE).

I understand that the Brazilians have made significant headway in "Electronic
Voting", paperless etc.

My discourse is with pure "Internet Voting", such as we are part-taking in
here.

I will reference one incident in 2006:

Brazilian E-Vote Techie Jailed in Ecuador
http://cbrayton.wordpress.com/2006/10/20/brazilian-e-vote-techie-jailed-in-ecuador/

And here the Authorities used "Hand Counting" to recount the vote, which means
paper was involved. I will also point out that Paper is also used as the People
check into the Polls to access the DRE machines, as part of formal registration
processes.

It is interesting to read about Brazil's e-vote and 'The Supreme Electoral
Court' Regulations for voting, and its reaching effects.
[the TSE, the Portuguese acronym for Tribunal Superior Eleitoral]
