SG must uphold online voting

By Alfredo Ortiz | May 20, 2019

The argument itself was not about whether online voting should be legal, but rather if the Supreme Court had the power to recount votes in a way that would make it illegal (namely, counting abstentions as votes against). However, the case of whether online voting is still legal despite the 2016 decision has yet to be made.
