[Ubuntu-eg] open source voting system for egyptian election

[Mohammad AbuShady]

I agree with ahmed toulan about something, this system can't be applied at
least not soon because of the corruption in our political system,
implementing such methods would give people who seek power an easy way to
gaining it, no paper needed no nothing, just altering/adding few records in
a data base would do the trick, of course they'll need to get access
through the person who has it but I believe it won't be that hard.
Right now I'd stick with the supervised terminals located in certain places
but also keep the old paper and ink, just to have some thing to verify with
and probably one or two more things to keep people from voting for other
people, at the beginning we'll just make it faster to determine the winning
people, but when things get stable we can use more features, like real time
statistics and such, (remember that firefox download counter for firefox 4?)
