James, Nice sales piece for electronic ballot rigging machines that fails to mention that it is impossible to ensure that e-votes are not tampered with.
Here is a great film done by graduate students at the University of California, Santa Barbara in their Computer Security Group who show how easy it is to rig elections with any e-ballot voting machines - in four different ways that would subvert any post-election audits - because even the voter verifiable paper ballot records are easily rigged to match fraudulent vote totals: http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~seclab/projects/voting/ The graduate students' film is easy for any lay person to understand. It requires no computer expertise to follow. It is amazing the utter cr-- that voting machine vendors and election officials continue to put out to the press that is contrary to all fact and common sense.
