Phalatse questions DA's electoral voting system as national congress commences
“I believe a lot needs to be done to win the trust and confidence of voting delegates that they can trust the system,” she said.
“The possibility of human error on a manual system when you have to capture 21 050 entries, because that's the number of entries we will have when you take into account all the elections we have, exists. With manual counting to capture and count all of that, human error will creep in after tiredness following many hours of that. However, with the electronic voting and counting systems, this will be done literally in seconds,” he explained.
Krumbock also disputed talks of the congress being white-dominated, which could sway the results along racial lines. Krumbock said they expected nearly 2000 delegates at the congress, which was made up of branch activists, councillors, members of the provincial legislature and members of Parliament from across the country.
