Parlacen deputy, Ramon Emilio Goris Taveras, who is also secretary general of the minority party, the Partido Humanista Dominicano (PHD), called for generalized opposition to the bid for electronic voting sought by the Central Electoral Board (JCE), the state organization in charge of organization the 2020 general election.
Goris Taveras says these machines are not trustworthy. “Computerized devices do not offer a minimum audit guarantee in computer software,” he said. He noted that developed countries such as Germany “have discontinued this system of electronic voting and transmission of results.”
The deputy and leader of the PHD says that the greatest reference of technological advances, the American Bill Gates, argues that the last thing to use in elections would be information technology.
Goris Taveras insisted that the parties Revolucionario Moderno (PRM), Opción Democrática (OD) and Alianza País (Al Pais) should not accept the application of electronic voting in the simultaneous primaries to choose their candidates for the 2020 elections set for 6 October 2019.
