[LINK] [UK] Call for e-voting to be scrapped amid security fears

[Janet Hawtin]

Can you test it on voting re surveys in shopping centres or for big
brother or jjj
at football events? surely there are some friday night shopping places
which generate a flow of people which would help in testing. what
about using it as an ancillary method for 10 election cycles until
youre sure its an honest reporter of people's choices.
imho paperless is fraught, the audit trail should be explicit and it
should fail with
a clear indication of what it did record accurately so that there is a
plan b for stuff which was lost. open code makes testing more robust
because we all care about whether this code is honest. the code should
be in service of the democratic process not in service of the software
vendor. ed felten has done surveys of the usa problems.
