There are some pretty good systems out there. One system, which uses touch screens, records the vote 3 times. First on a hard drive. 2nd on a diskette like module (not a floppy but a specialized device, readable only by specially designed machines) And third it records it on paper, similar to a cash register reciept, which is secured within the machine.
Anonymity is easy to maintain, a poll worker activates it for 1 ballot per voter.
Software security is easy to maintain as well, by securing and encrypting the code, and comparing the executable code before and after the election. The whole machine is to be secured when not in use.
These are really no different than we have today with many voting machines. we have leaver type machines here. Someone could get into the machine and rig it, but there are security measures which are easily implemented to prevent it.
Now, if you talk internet voting, there u have a point.
Being an expert in imaging and internet systems, I have already written my senator to expose the risks of internet voting. |
