> >>> www.zeapartners.org/articles/vote-egov007 There's far more vexing terms than "open source" involved here. The site has a "Human Check" which prevents people who cannot read yellows on an orange+white background well from registering to vote. I find it rather offensive to suggest that people who fail it are not human! I am disappointed that the European Commission uses such a thing. I cannot check the status of this site or EC policy about calling visually-impaired people inhuman because http://ec.europa.eu/ currently reports 403 Forbidden to me. The W3C advice on this is: http://www.w3.org/TR/turingtest/ Is this really an European Commission site, are EC sites allowed to do that and how can visually-impaired people register to vote?
