The Company do electronic voting, but I don't find any mention of doing it in Spain. INDRA ELECTRONIC VOTING SYSTEM SUCCESS - Telecompaper
INDRA ELECTRONIC VOTING SYSTEM SUCCESS Tuesday 6 January 1998 | 00:00 CET | News Indra (Spain), IT company which is due to be 66% privatised at start-1999, automated up to 99.4% of the voting that took place in the 06 December 1998 elections in Venezuela. Deploying the company's electronic voting system involved training 10k people to use 7k intelligent ballot boxes located at 5k voting stations. Indra's contract with the Venezuelan govt was worth USDlr148 mil. The company aims to boost its business in Latin America, where elections are expected in Argentina, Panama, and Colombia in 1999, and in Nicaragua in 2000. Indra has already provided electronic voting in Argentina
In fact, Spain appears to count ballots by hand, at least according to this list: Vote Counting Methods | Voter Turnout | International IDEA
On the other hand, the petition looks real enough: AUTORIDADES ESPAÑOLAS Y EUROPEAS: Auditoría Elecciones Generales 26-J
Por qué es importante El Ministro del Interior, encargado del recuento/escrutinio de los votos, ha sido sorprendido flagrantemente utilizando las instituciones y a la Policía para destruir a rivales políticos. El Gobierno se saltó el concurso público y ejecutó la adjudicación del contrato para el recuento de los votos del 26-J por "procedimiento negociado" - cosa totalmente inusual en este tipo de contratos - adjudicándose a Indra, una empresa diferente que la que hizo el recuento el 20D, que ganó a través de concurso. Pero lo peor de todo, es que Indra está de lleno envuelta en una trama de corrupción (la Púnica) con el mismo partido que supervisa el recuento/escrutinio de las elecciones y que otorgó dicho contrato "a dedo", el Partido Popular. Los resultados de las elecciones no se corresponden en absoluto con ninguna de todas las encuestas: nunca en la historia de la democracia se habían dado semejantes diferencias.

I'll leave it for the more knowledgeable to comment, and I hope they will.
