Group wants to bring "American Idol"-style "third party" Web-based voting fraud to 2012 election http://j.mp/tVpS6H (This message on Google+)
- - - http://j.mp/tAcp5g (Washington Post) "Others warn that the group could become an experiment in technology gone wrong. "Occupy Wall Street has discovered Americans Elect. The tea party has discovered Americans Elect," said one strategist, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to be frank about the effort. "What happens if it gets hijacked?" But Americans Elect officials think they can guard against fraud with a secure Internet site built by a former chief technology officer of E*Trade, a stock-trading site. They note that corporations have used the Internet for secure proxy and shareholder votes for years." - - - There hasn't been much incentive to hack shareholder votes. The incentive to hack something like this would be enormous. The naivete of this group is breathtaking. Ready, set, hack the vote! --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
