Finnish e-voting system loses 2% of votes

Yeehay. The PROPRIETARY (TietoEnator provided) system that hasnt been OPENLY AUDITED, dismissing demands by Electronic Frontier Finland, and DEFENDED by our GREEN PARTY Justice Minister Brax - in its first real life situation, loses 2% of cast votes. Fuck you. This was the first test - if, IF they go forward with this, I hope there will be pissed of people with EMP generators on polling day in 2 years.
This system is provided by TietoEnator, the software is SECRET, a TRADE SECRET, which has been reviewed by just a handful of EXPERTS, and EFFI was not allowed to review it because they REFUSED to sign an agreement that would have disallowed ANY DISCUSSION OF WHAT THEY FIND IN THE SOFTWARE.
Fuck you assholes. Paper ballots work just fine, and if you insist on cheating machines, I insist on citizen disobeyance and utilization of destruction of illegal vote stealing machines.

"Finland piloted a fully electronic voting system in municipal elections last weekend. Due to a usability glitch, 232 votes, or about 2% of all electronic votes were lost. The results of the election may have been affected, because the seats in municipal assemblies are often decided by margins of a few votes. Unfortunately, nobody knows for sure, because the Ministry of Justice didn't see any need to implement a voter-verified paper record. The ministry was, of course, duly warned about a fully electronic voting system, but the critique was debunked as 'science fiction.' There is now discussion about re-arranging the affected elections. Thanks go to the voting system providers, Scytl and TietoEnator, for the experience.""

Note: Evoting was used in just 3 municipalities, as a test. Finland has a population of 5 million, and counting the votes usually takes a WHOPPING DAY using volunteers from ALL PARTIES, meaning that cheating would be prohibitively difficult.
