Obviously, people who listen to RadioNZ are very clever.

And although not addressed in their response, obviously all listeners understood that as an employee of electionz.com, Mr Lampp would gain advantage for his company if online voting for government elections was to be accepted. And nobody would have assumed that "electionz.com" was in any way an official part of government instead of a private commercial company.

To clarify, being an Electoral Officer is an official position in local body elections, and Mr Lampp has carried out this function for 23 elections this year. I'm not sure if the phrase "Electoral Officer" is a protected term, obviously RadioNZ don't think it is. Also, I'm not sure if he was an Electoral Officer in a personal capacity, or as a representative of Electionz.com; but I have difficulty imagining that it could be anything other than personal.

And when the interviewer questioned him with “.... electronic voting isn’t reliable and couldn’t be trusted for some time could it?" that was enough for the listeners to understand that despite his positive answers, there was still real industry concern.

Predictably, RadioNZ's Complaints Coordinator does not think that describing Warwick Lampp of Electionz.com as the "chief electoral officer at electionz.com" was misleading or even significant, in their broadcast of 9th October 2019 talking about voter turnout numbers.

Oh hai #sophos, are you trying to get in to the controversy a couple of days late?

@TheGibson and there was me thinking you'd broken something at your end, Chrome just errors with ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR instead of displaying the Sophos text.

I'll see if I can report a false positive ...
