Re: [FRIAM] voting machine tampering

[George Duncan]

Perhaps the leading national figure on the security of voting machines is Michael Shamos, a PhD computer scientist and attorney who is on the faculty at Carnegie Mellon. See his testimony http://www.house.gov/science/hearings/ets04/jun24/shamos.pdf and his vita http://euro.ecom.cmu.edu/people/faculty/mshamos/index.shtml.

Today's NYT had an OpEd by Bob Herbert on voting problems and issues.  Perhaps those concerned progressives involved in IT, computers, complexity and software should investigate electronic voting and its inherent weaknesses that allow both unintentional and intentional errors.  Perhaps the UN should send election observers for the US elections.
