Sent to you by Regis via Google Reader: When Voting Machine Audit Logs
Don't Help via Schneier on Security by schneier on 1/23/09
Wow:
Computer audit logs showing what occurred on a vote tabulation system
that lost ballots in the November election are raising more questions
not only about how the votes were lost, but also about the general
reliability of voting system audit logs to record what occurs during an
election and to ensure the integrity of results.
The logs, which Threat Level obtained through a public records request
from Humboldt County, California, are produced by the Global Election
Management System, the tabulation software, also known as GEMS, that
counts the votes cast on all voting machines -- touch-screen and
optical-scan machines -- made by Premier Election Solutions (formerly
called Diebold Election Systems).
The article gets pretty technical, but is worth reading.
