SIVACRACY.NET: Crazy idea: If E-voting does not work, fix it

Slashdot: Dutch Securing E-voting After Being Pwned

"After the Dutch we-don't-trust-voting-computers foundation demonstrated glaring security holes in Dutch voting computers last week, the Dutch government has ordered (Dutch) all software to be replaced, all hardware to be checked, unflashable firmware to be installed, and an iron seal to be placed on voting machines. A certification institute will double-check all measures, and on election day will cull random machines to check them for accuracy. The Dutch intelligence service AIVD has been approached to consult on the radio emissions issue. Furthermore, foreign observers will monitor the upcoming elections on November 22nd. But the action group is still not confident (Dutch) that all problems are solved."

Comments

Rolling Stone's recent article on the roll-out of e-voting machines in Florida makes the idea of fixing e-voting laughable.

One person - one ballot - one dyed finger - one vote.

And no, I don't think vinyl sounds better.
