While I sincerely believe that a re-elected FF will implement the 
Nedap/Powervote system upon re-election, I think that it would be wrong in 
principle for ICTE to take a party-political stance on the issue. I'm pretty 
sure that anyone who thinks that this issue is important is well aware of 
the party positions on the issue, and anyone who isn't aware is unlikely to 
be swayed on the issue.
