Assalamualaikum,

Masalah yang timbul daripada Pilihanraya
Presiden menyebabkan rakyatnya mula membincangkan
penggunaan teknologi komputer dan Internet
sebagai alat untuk membuang undi.

Haris forwardkan ini sebagai bahan rujukan
dan perbincangan.

Haris petik perbincangan di ecommerce-discuss
http://www.year2000.com/ecommerce/

Maaf Haris tidak dapat "forward" kan semua
banyak. Sila rujuk laman tu untuk diskusi lain.
Ia bermula daripada Nov 08, 2000.

Haris rasakan kita sudah sepatutnya mula mengkaji
kemungkinan penggunaan teknologi sebegini.

Laman lain untuk rujukan.

Here's some more discussion of e-voting.  The source is:

http://www.aceproject.org/main/english/em/emf02/default.htm

Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) Machines

Direct recording electronic (DRE) machines are computer 
terminals that allow voters to enter their votes by 
pressing buttons or touching images on a computer screen. 
The original DRE machines were simply electronic 
implementations of the traditional mechanical lever 
machines. More recent DRE models look more like automated 
teller machines or personal computers and have the ability 
to display photographs as well as text.

DRE machines require a larger up-front investment in 
equipment than do punch card and mark-sense systems. 
Enough machines must be purchased so that voters need not 
wait in line for extended periods of time in order to 
vote. In addition, DRE machines must be securely 
transported to polling sites and stored between elections.

A well-designed DRE machine can be very easy for a voter 
to use and may be more accessible to people who are 
illiterate or disabled than punch card and mark-sense 
systems. Furthermore, DRE systems ensure that voters make 
unambiguous choices; no voter intent disputes can arise.

Because there are no physical ballots that can be 
recounted or examined manually, it is essential that DRE 
systems be thoroughly tested prior to an election and that 
all parties be confident in their proper operation. It is 
also essential that votes be recorded on at least two 
separate devices so that a backup exists if one should 
become corrupted.

Election day power outages are a concern when DRE systems 
are used. Systems should be capable of running on 
batteries, if necessary for the duration of an election, 
or emergency generators, or an alternative voting system 
should be available as a backup.

Internet-Based Voting

Voting through personal computers connected to the 
Internet is becoming a viable option for some elections. 
The Internet may be used simply to transfer ballots from 
local precincts to centralised tallying centers. Or 
systems may be developed in which voters need not go to 
polling places to cast their votes. They may vote from any 
computer connected to the Internet. Such Internet vote-
from-home systems might replace a voting station system, 
or they might be used only for absentee balloting.

Internet vote-from-home systems are appealing in that they 
can eliminate the expenses associated with setting up and 
staffing remote voting locations, make voting more 
convenient for voters who have computers at home or work, 
and eliminate the need for separate absentee ballot 
systems. Encryption technology can be used to ensure that 
votes cast over the Internet remain secure and private.

Internet vote-from-home systems, however, raise many of 
the concerns associated with absentee balloting and vote-
by-mail systems, including concerns about people being 
influenced or forced to vote a certain way and concerns 
about people selling their right to vote. In addition, 
until home computers with Internet access become 
ubiquitous, there will still be a need for voting 
locations where those who don't have Internet access or 
don't know how to use a computer can cast their votes.

I don't have enough faith in the encryption technology to 
see Net-voting as being acceptable any time soon.

David,

You fear the worst.  Were you replaced by a computer at 
some point in time?  

The individual states still have the resources and 
manpower to run an election all by themselves.  Someone 
might have mentioned federal, but you need to get to the 
real point here.  With the technology we have in computer 
usage, those that did vote would have a far better chance 
of never screwing up a vote.  The person either punches 
one button or the computer says back to them "you may 
punch only one button for your vote for the president."  

Likewise, the computer can tell an individual that he has 
not cast a vote in a particular area and further ask if he 
wishes to cast a vote in that category at all.  Each state 
can do this with much more efficiency than the Feds and 
the voting would be much more accurate.  That would be 
proven the first time around.  Many more votes would 
appear than in past years when so many in each state have 
been thrown out.

PEACE...ODAAT (ONE Day AT A Time)
And God Bless You and Yourn'

Excuse me, but the last time I read the Constitution, it 
was the States who hold the power of the vote and how to 
handle that falls to the individual States.  Instituting a 
national (Federal) e-voting system is simply whittling 
away more individual freedoms to Daddy Government.  But 
then, our welfare and caretaker mindset has been going 
that way for years.
