Yesterday, the primaries election of the Labor party in Israel was aborted and postponed to a later date due to serious malfunctioning of the voting machines deployed for this purpose.
The provider of those machines was Taldor LTD.
Sources (in Hebrew):
I wrote previously about computerized elections.

I am deaf since birth. I played with big computers which eat punched cards and spew out printouts since age 12. Ever since they became available, I work and play with desktop size computers which eat keyboard keypresses and spew out display pixels.
Among other things, I developed software which helped the deaf in Israel use the telephone network, by means of home computers equipped with modems. Several years later, I developed Hebrew localizations for some cellular phones, which helped the deaf in Israel utilize the cellular phone networks.
I am interested in entrepreneurship, Science Fiction and making the world more accessible to people with disabilities.

I thank Teldor for alerting the people to the fact that computers are not the end-all solution to everything. Also, I’m personally against computerized voting for a very long list of reasons, including financial, environmental, ethical, technical and political ones. too long a list to keep count.
Truth is, I was sure it would fail, I just didn’t imagine it would happen so catastrophically… 🙂
