May 19th, 2008

Further to this post from just over a year ago, the campaign by the Dutch We Don’t Trust Voting Computers Foundation has ended in victory:

On May 16, 2008 the Dutch government decided that elections in the Netherlands will be held using paper ballots and red pencil only. A proposal to develop a new generation of voting computers was rejected.

Score one for the good guys.
