El Caribe newspaper says that the Central Electoral Board (JCE) decision to implement electronic voting in the DR would merely inject more noise into Dominican elections. “The pressing issues in the electoral arena are not inventing new ways of voting and counting the votes, but rather restoring the JCE with the credibility it deserves as the arbiter of the important process of elections,” says the newspaper in its editorial today. “That credibility will not come while the JCE is made up of representatives of political parties, because there will always be suspicions that one of the so-called arbiters is both judge and partisan. Let us tackle the fundamentals and leave the accessories for later.”
