        What my pencil was hacked when I voted to leave the EU. Lets give electronic voting a miss and stick with a good old pencil vote.

        anyone with 1/2 a braincell can see the dangers of on-line voting-even less secure than postal version. ID needed & turn up 2 vote❌

        Voting should require voter in person with ID, nothing online and no postal, however unfair that may be to some.

        Rocket science. Old pencil and paper can't be hacked. Only idiots want it done any other way. Be bothered, get up and go to booth.
