Thomas Röttcher - Curriculum Vitae

In March, before the Federal Constitutional Court ruled that the use of voting computers in the last general election in 2005 was unconstitutional (and the computer therefore probably not be used in 2009) because he had violated the principle of public choice. Two million citizens had voted in 2005 to 1800 units, determined the TIME . However, the choice should not be repeated, the court found: "The interest in the continuance of the composite on the constitutionality of the Federal Voting Machine Ordinance in reliance popular representation outweighs the electoral mistakes." A little diplomacy swings in the argument with though, which may be the judges admit here Finally, elections are soon anyway.

Less understanding, however, I bring to elsewhere : The Constitutional Court had not only the voting machines, but also the right to vote as such in part unconstitutional, and in July 2008.

The Bundestag must, however, according to the judges, are not resolved, with the same reasoning as above. So far, so good.

But here's the thing: The Constitutional Court ordered the overhang mandate rule must be changed - and no later than June 2011! But why such a long "grace period," ask not just me myself. In other matters, decisions can be pushed through in no time (such as the blocking of the Internet ), only for this, associated with comparatively little effort change should not be possible in the short term? Or do not want to get it? In all likelihood, the upcoming election will be carried out again on the basis of unconstitutional regulations.

Something positive, there are also to report: The Federal Agency for Civic Education is now back to her "Wahl-O-Mat" ready, an online tool, the interested parties familiar with the aid of in advance of the forthcoming European elections with the individual party programs can make (see link below). The special feature: After answering a few questions, a ranking list is ejected with those parties which are best suited to their own convictions. Extremely gratifying thing is that this year, all parties, including the so-called small parties were involved - that they submit appropriate information to the Federal Center, which some have apparently failed so far ...
