Hopefully not! No matter who wins, the use of unverifiable and
untrustworthy Evoting will be so widespread that the election should be
void. 

The worst thing (for the E-voting issue) that could happen is for Kerry
to win and criticism of Evoting to die town and turn out to have been
mostly driven by anti-Bush sentiment.

Even if the election goes your way, it's only proper to call for the
entire thing to be re-run in these kind of circumstances. (Same goes
for Dublin North and West IMO).
