	Irish presidential election, 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		But party leader Pat Rabbitte appeared less committed in a television interview in November 2003, pointing out that all its attentions were focused on the two Irish elections already guaranteed in 2004, the European elections and the local elections to be held on 11 June.
		Following her defeat in the European Parliament election of June 2004, 1997 candidate Dana Rosemary Scallon indicated that she might also run as an independent presidential candidate on a platform of opposition to the adoption of the proposed European Union constitution.
		She initially attempted to repeat her 1997 strategy of seeking nominations from four county councils, and approached all the county councils in the country but was rebuffed.

		The unpopular decisions of local representatives are often more visible than those of central Government and with the increasing advent of pressure groups it is important that public representatives have the necessary moral courage to make decisions that are for the general good and not merely populist or politically motivated.
		Minor expenses incurred in the election are not included and neither are payments of services provided from public funds or institutions of the EU by virtue of the candidate being a member of a local authority.
		Local elections are a small scale operation and the expenditure normally falls within certain predictable limits, but there is a still a requirement that all candidates disclose the sources of their funding.

		It is a mark of the rapid electoral progress made by Sinn Féin since 1997 that the party's General Election performance of that year (the election of a single TD and a 2.5% share of the vote nationally) was greeted as a major success.
		Despite adverse publicity in the run up to the 2002 General Election (mainly due to the trial of three Irish men in Colombia and allegations of links to both narco-terrorism abroad and vigilante activity at home), Sinn Féin succeeded in widening its focus to encompass social and economic policy, as well as the national question.
		The 2003 Elections to the Legislative Assembly confirmed Sinn Féin's position as the larger of the two nationalist parties in the North, both in terms of seats and first preference vote share.

	Presidential Elections Ireland 2004
		Fear and doubt were pushed to one side and at three o'clock in the morning of Thursday, 25th September, I sat down to write a presentation to send to chairpersons of county councils throughout the country.
		Althought it did sound a bit dramatic and ultra-patriotic, I certainly believed that it was largely true and possible, especially then, as one of the candidates, Rosemary Scallon ("Dana") had signposted the so-called "county council route".
		Normally, although there had been contested elections, presidential candidates were proposed by the current government and the post was regarded as a sinecure for eminent party-servers.

		Go to Hope, Arkansas (ancestral home of Bill Clinton) in 1992, or Russell, Kansas, in 1996 where the huge grain silo announced "Home of Bob Dole" (the Republican candidate of that year), and you could witness the civic pride borne from a native son who had become a presidential contender.
		Come to Boston now, however, and you are struck by the blend of ennui and indifference that the local boy is up for the big prize.
		And in troubling echoes of the current race Lowell adds: "And when he was attacked he didn't fight back." Mr Kerry went from a 54% to 21% lead in the polls to defeat.

		Despite a major information and communication campaign launched by the government in February, the nationwide introduction of electronic voting for the forthcoming local and European elections of June 2004 is meeting increasing resistance within the Irish society.
		In a move to address this growing criticism, the Irish government appointed on 2 March 2004 a Commission to conduct a crucial examination of the proposed e-voting and e-counting systems.
		The Irish Citizens for Trustworthy E-Voting, a recently formed group that is lobbying against the proposed system provided by UK and Dutch partnership Nedap/Powervote, said the government's plans pose "a threat to Irish democracy."

	Observer \| Doorstep racism rattles Irish Labour
		Irish Labour is facing a racist backlash in the local and Euro elections, a senior party member has admitted.
		The Wicklow TD said Labour canvassers reported that voters in some areas had questioned the party's outright opposition to the government's proposed referendum on citizenship - due to take place alongside the elections on 10 June - which will take away Irish passports from children born in the Republic who have foreign parents.
		However, McManus said that the referendum campaign might backfire against the government because a larger section of the electorate disliked the alleged use of the race issue in the election campaign.

		The biggest bone of contention for Irish voters was that there would be no paper-trail from e-voting in the event of something going wrong.
		Colm MacCarthaigh of Irish Citizens For Trustworthy E-voting (ICTE) was delighted with the decision.
		In particular ICTE welcome the Commission's conclusion that it is impossible to certify the accuracy of the software as it is as yet unknown and that "the absence of [an audit trail] significantly raises the standards and quality of other system testing that is required".
