The DA has come out in defence of its online voting system after its use was questioned in a letter by a contender for the position of party leader.
“As I mentioned during the federal council meeting, I made representations to IT system experts who are familiar with the technicalities of the OPA voting system. The professional advice issued to me, and confirmed by Adrian Firth, the party’s director of campaign technology, was highly concerning. It confirmed there were significant flaws with the system’s security architecture.
She said in an environment of coercion and fear, there could be an effort to rig the results or engage in tampering.
