Opening Up E-Voting (O'ReillyNet)
O'Reilly looks at
open source e-voting. "The politics of e-voting may be
controversial, but the technologies used for e-voting are not exceptionally
complicated or difficult to understand. Now, two initiatives have opened
e-voting systems to public examination and varying degrees of tranparency
and verification. The Open Voting Consortium demonstrated an e-voting
system called evm, built from commodity hardware running GPL'd software
last April 1. A few days later, VoteHere opened the source to its
proprietary VTHi e-voting software to public inspection."

Opening Up E-Voting (O'ReillyNet) Posted Apr 28, 2004 22:19 UTC (Wed) by Baylink (subscriber, #755) [Link] Not a bad piece at all.I can't think of anything that would help the general perception situation more than members of small clubs and organizations (<= oh, say 500 members?) setting up such systems for organization voting, with a pamphlet emphasizing how much more secure the system is than the government's approach... and how much less it cost.
