Comments on: Expert says flawed e-voting systems need constant audits

Panelist at RSA 2008 says election officials are stuck with flawed electronic voting systems and the only solution is to require audits after every election.

Absolutely right

This man is absolutely right. The e-voting systems that we have now need to be STRICTLY monitored and also to have a paper record of your vote that is given to you and another copy that the election officials keep in order to randomly audit the election.

We also need to make the code of these things public, so that people can point out deficiencies and attack vectors in the code, so those can be fixed.

When are we going to feel safe? When can we make sure that our vote will count? Those questions and more trouble me. Your article reminds me of this exciting book I recently read on this very subject. Cassandra Chanting. The author is anonymous. But is sure smacks of what we see here!
