Now, now, now!
I wrote here twice earlier that PKR (Parti Keadilan Rakyat) should have done away with its e-voting system and revert to tried and trusted paper ballot voting in the party's deputy president elections after the fiasco in Penang and Kedah but the party insisted in proceeding with e-voting in other states and now Datuk Seri Azmin Ali, PKR Member of Parliament for Gombak and Malaysian Minister of Economic Affairs, who is one of the contenders for PKR deputy president highlights problems with the e-voting system and demands that the party conduct an investigation into the problems.
If PKR had listened to IT.Scheiss, it would not be facing questions raised about the integrity of its election process and the validity of the result, especially by contenders such as Azmin and others.

Azmin: Some things just aren't right at PKR polls
Nation Thursday, 25 Oct 2018
KUALA LUMPUR: The allegations of instability in the PKR's e-voting system have raised the concern of the party's deputy president Datuk Seri Azmin Ali, who wants a thorough probe on the matter.
He said the JPP (central election committee) should investigate all reports and ensure that the elections were free and fair.
"There are so many complaints on the ground.
"Recently, Sarawak has come out with a statutory declaration to show how serious the matter is – the rigging, cheating, and the process and system is not stable," he told reporters at the Parliament lobby yesterday.
On Tuesday, PKR secretary-general Datuk Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the party would maintain the e-voting system despite the complaints and claims of irregularities.
Azmin, who is running for the number two post against vice-president Rafizi Ramli, said his own branch faced a similar problem.
"There have been numerous occasions over the last three to four weeks where there were complaints to suggest that the Internet was not stable, votes gone missing – even in my own branch in Gombak," said Azmin.
"How do you explain when you produce QR codes of almost 1,700, but the results did not tally?" he asked of the number of eligible voters which did not correspond with the results.
Every voter must be present physically and will be required to have their MyKad scanned before a QR code is issued for voting.
"Something is not right there. JPP must conduct a fair investigation. That is the demand of the members. The JPP should be independent and conduct a free investigation," said Azmin.
