As I understand it, in a number of countries in Europe: (1) Voting is compulsory. (2) Elections are scheduled on weekends (3) In Germany, paper ballots are still the norm, and votes are hand- counted. I wouldn't be surprised if other countries in Europe had similar attitudes toward electronic voting.
I have no idea regarding IDs in Europe, but one relative of mine who lives in LA and works on their elections board has noted a major problem regarding names and IDs during elections: How do you handle registrations for multiple persons (sorry for the bad grammar) who have the same first and last name--biometrics? Also, slot machines in this country are more tightly regulated than is the equipment used in elections. Think about the above. The last should especially scare the heck out of you. *R.
