I am spending most of my activistic time between free software and the

I'm definitively against e-voting and free software can't really help.

For anyone willing to join our Italian group fighting by policy 
lobbying, media monitoring and participation, lecturing to fight any 
politician proposal (happening every 6-9 months), please join us at
