School Socket Syndrome

According to this blog written by Michael Wrong, he stated that the term "School Socket Syndrome" best describes the modern technology in Nairobi, Africa. There's almost always seems to be a dispute when it comes to voting, especially using modern technology. Even more so in Africa, where there's fear of militia by angry young men in which would sprung into action, if there seemed to have been glitches when counting the votes. It's terrying especially when security opens fire during an election.
Florida was all that bad when compared to other countries such as Kenya. However, it doesn't have this difficult in my opinion. For instance, one of the bloggers commented on the fact that Egypt did not rely on modern technoly when it came to voting, and yet the error percentage was less than 0.3%. This resulted with no dispute, due to the system that they had used.
It's true from my opinion on what Wrong stated. Mastering the methodologies, can more likely get this systme in a better path.
