All of a sudden the genius and all powerful CNE Director Jorge Rodriguez realizes that the voting process may take too much time: “We have time problems, due to the difficulty of the process, this is due to the difficulty in the process”….”this is much more complex than that of the presidential recall vote”.
You mean to tell me they did not consider this when they bought the machines? Could it possibly be that they were thinking only of the recall vote when they bought them and considered their design? So, they spent a zillion dollars on machines that were ideal for a Yes/No vote that did not even require electronic voting? What is going to happen when next summer those same voters will have to vote, not for one Mayor and one Governor, but for dozens of choices for Deputies of the National Assembly? They did not think of that? Bunch of amateurs!
In fact, when I went to the practice run of the voting system on Jul.18th. I said: “Simple enough for a single vote, I thought the screen might be too small for a multiple election.” Now, this was based on a thirty second test of the machine by a non-expert, but it seems nobody thought of this when they spent more than US$ 100 million in voting machines that most of the time will be used for multiple elections rather than a simple “Yes” and “No” vote. These are the arrogant and “revolutionary” administrators of our “democracy”.
