he didn't say that the current system and the way it's being deployed is fair or acceptable, he was responding to the idea expressed above that there is NO way for an electronic voteing sytem to be anything other then a way to cheat the election.

Complex voting systems only benefit the establishment; as nettings expresses below much better than I can, a simple voting system should be a basic requirement since it is the basis of accountability and reliability. It's not easy to see how an electronic voting system can be made simple.
Simple electronic voting Posted Dec 12, 2005 7:46 UTC (Mon) by xoddam (subscriber, #2322) [Link] You could start by *trying*.http://www.slate.com/id/2107388/ This system is far from ideal (no paper trail!) but it *is* simple.
Simple electronic voting Posted Dec 12, 2005 13:36 UTC (Mon) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091) [Link] The devices mentioned in the article linked contain a microprocessor. Can you assure it is functioning correctly? With paper ballots anyone can verify how the system works, plus it leaves an audit trail; with these devices you have to trust the chip manufacturer. Where are the results tallied? This is not what I would call "simple".

Don't ask me if it was successful or what, I only noticed the page very recently. Lots of details are provided on the site, check it out. If anyone has comments about that system, please share.
