Confusion in Portugal's presidential election

Thousands of voters could not vote

in the 23 January 2011 presidential election,

because of a generalised confusion

in Mr. Socrate's "Hi-tech" country.

The much talked about citizen's card that is supposed

to have all the necesary information about citizens on it,

including their voting number,

couldn't be found on the voters' lists,

or by text messages on mobile phones etc.

The whole system just crashed

and thousands of voters couldn't vote,

even with their new citizen cards in hand!!

A real scandal!!
