Sobre pingüinas y malargüinos

Lamentablemente, el midterm de micro que tuve que dar hoy me impidio ayer tener que ir a la sede de la embajada argentina en Chicago para emitir el voto que (quizas?) hiciese la diferencia... La cuestion es que tuve que seguir las elecciones via internet. Estas son algunas de las cosas que salieron en los diarios de hoy (cualquier patron es puramente aleatorio):

New York Times
"Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, the wife of Argentina’s president, Néstor Kirchner, has become the first woman to be elected president in the country’s history, according to the latest official results published today.
Despite approval ratings of more than 60 percent, Mr. Kirchner decided in July not to run for re-election, in what many analysts believe is a strategy to rotate the couple through the Pink House, the presidential palace here, for 12 years. Argentine election law allows a former president to run again after waiting four years on the sidelines.
Despite Mrs. Kirchner’s apparent victory, several rival candidates on Sunday reported voter irregularities in some Peronist strongholds. 'Each time a citizen went to vote, the voting authority at the table said there aren’t ballots for your party,' said Patricia Bullrich, the campaign chief for Ms. Carrió. 'They said: ‘O.K., you still have to vote. Vote for a blank slate, but you have to vote.’ "
Chicago Tribune:
"President Nestor Kirchner and first lady Cristina Fernandez will switch jobs in December after Argentines elected a female president for the first time and launched their country's most powerful political dynasty since Juan and Evita Peron.
Carrio spokesman Matias Mendez said seven parties had filed a complaint alleging missing or stolen ballots. One representative of the ruling party was arrested on suspicion of trying to vote twice, and a judge extended voting by an hour in the capital because many polling stations opened late.
'This is a dynasty-in-waiting, but it will collapse as they all do if she can't get a team together to differentiate herself from Nestor Kirchner,' said Riordan Roett, director of Western Hemisphere studies at Johns Hopkins University."
Financial Times:
"Cristina Fernández, Argentina’s first lady, won a resounding victory in presidential elections on Sunday but avoided triumphalism, seeking instead to build bridges with middle-class voters who had opted for opposition candidates.
Ms Fernández, a glamorous figure with long hair, designer clothes and trademark bold make-up, has promised only gradual changes to the growth-orientated policies pursued since Argentina’s $100bn debt default in 2002. The next president is expected to seek to renegotiate $6bn in Paris Club debt owed since then."
Sobre lo que no he encontrado mucha info es sobre el malargüino.

Por el malarg�ino "pregunt� en malarg�e"...
con relacion a las elecciones, fue un quilombo x:
1) La gente es cada vez m�s basura y desconsiderada.
2) S� de dos casos (x presidentes de mesa) en los que se unific� a dos mesas, pasando de 200 a 400 electores.
3) En mesas de godoy cruz, al menos, faltaban boletas de distintos partidos

Por lo visto, se confirma que es una buena estrategia continuar con el viejo sistema de votacion en lugar de pasar al voto electronico como el que tienen paises un tanto mas civilizados...

En realidad hay otro tipo de problemas: la "carga" de ser autoridad de mesa no se hace cumplir, y esto genera demoras...
Según los especialistas en seguridad informática no se puede hacer un voto electrónico seguro.
Habría que ordenar más bien otras cosas (no usar listas sábanas, aplicar otra tecnología como ser códigos de barras, etc)...

Si, totalmente de acuerdo Tincho: no se puede hacer un voto electronico 100% seguro. Ahora, la pregunta seria: es el voto electronico mas seguro que el actual sistema arcaico? La experiencia de los paises civilizados dice que si, pues de esta forma se le quita discrecionalidad al gobierno de turno... En fin, etc,
