11. This is old news
The Irish bought a complete e-voting system several years ago, and promptly mothballed it when it became apparent there was no way to validate the voting. The news this week was around the final decision to quit storing these machines (at ridiculous cost) and scrap the whole idea - but it was effectively dead in the water quite some time ago.

Cost was something like 55 million for a system that never did anything.
