2004-03-15   against e-vote   March, 14th 2004: would Spain have had any advantage from electronic vote?

On Sunday March, 14th 2004 Spain has elected the new Parliament using the traditional paper ballot system.

Ballot boxes were beautiful transparent plastic boxes, not invisible and unverifiable memories of computers!

Soon after the closing of the election the first projections showed who was the winner and the morning after the official results were available. Those result, being manually counted and checked (and verifiable again), were not only official, but even without a shadow of a doubt.

Would Spain have any advantage from using electronic vote?

Would anything have gone in a better way, or would electronic vote only have produced doubts and suspects?
