Diebold election insecurity systemsDiebold election insecurity systemsPosted May 18, 2006 6:51 UTC (Thu) by ekj (guest, #1524)In reply to: Diebold election insecurity systems by glennc99 Parent article: Diebold election insecurity systems Agreed -- very few people will control the paper-ballot. But even if only say 1% of the voters glance at the paper-ballot, the odds are pretty high that phony software that say changes 5% of the votes will get caugth. On the average, that would mean that once every 2000 voters someone observes a paper-ballot coming out with something other than what they voted. A better system would be for the machine to print the receipt, which the voter then folds and puts in an old-fashioned ballot-box. Requiring the voter to handle (even if only fold and insert in ballot-box) the paper would probably increase the chanse that voter glances at the paper by a factor of atleast 10.
