Das Bundesverfassungsgericht hat wegen der internationalen Bedeutung seines Urteils zu Wahlcomputern dankenswerterweise eine englische Pressemitteilung veröffentlicht:

The voters themselves must be able to understand without detailed knowledge of computer technology whether their votes cast are recorded in an unadulterated manner as the basis of vote counting, or at any rate as the basis of a later recount. If the election result is determined through computer-controlled processing of the votes stored in an electronic memory, it is not sufficient if merely the result of the calculation process carried out in the voting machine can be taken note of by means of a summarising printout or an electronic display.

Auch der CCC [Chaos Computer Club] hat für die internationale Berichterstattung eine Übersetzung seiner Pressemitteilung ins Netz gestellt: Federal Constitutional Court Stops Electronic Voting Roulette.
