Nist Blasts Paperless Electronic Voting
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently published a paper condemning paperless electronic voting machines as insecurable. I’ll have to read the paper in-depth to see how they came to that strong of a conclusion, but I do know that there is no research showing that a purely electronic system can be completely trustworthy.
It’s amazing how far this subject has come in just a few years, yet how far it still needs to go as evidenced by the irregularities in the recent 2006 midterm election.
