Fine Gael's e-voting comes unstuck

category dublin | eu | news report author Friday May 30, 2008 12:35author by Sean Report this post to the editors

A salutory tale from Dublin's ILAC centre

No voters ahead by 2-1
No voters ahead by 2-1

As part of its hard-sell on the Lisbon Treaty, Fine Gael put its own electronic voting machine into the ILAC centre in the centre of Dublin recently giving people the chance to participate in a mock electronic ballot on the referendum.

The result (photo taken yesterday, 29th May 2008) was as follows-

Yes: 3,643 (34.2%)

No: 7,002 (65.8%)

A bit of an own goal?

What happens when the No votes go above 9,999? Does it go back to zero, or does the machine announce that the No side has won and no more voting is possible?

This must have sounded like a good idea at the time, FG must be feeling pretty silly now

No Pat, it will just go on for a few days to look like a huge Yes win and Enda Kenny will arrive in for a photo opp with the media as he announces an overwhelming victory for his campaign in the ILAC.

If it was in dundrum Im sure the yes side would be considerably more.The illac is a real working class area of dublin and those in the surrounding area will be those who will be hit hardest from the treaty of Lisbon

I checked it today and the counter has rolled back.

Yes was at 7000, no at 1300 or something close. So we're still thrashing them. Whats the bets FG will claim victory now!
