Another dumb pollie with a solution to the wrong problem.

All the available votes for the reps were counted that night. The delay
is because of the legislation that says postal votes can be accepted up
to 13 days after election day.

Fix that problem and you wouldn't need e-voting with all its associated
risks and problems.

If there is an inquiry/study, I bet they focus on the "benefits" and
financial costs not the real and potential problems.
