Doubting Electronic Voting

Posted by michael on from the clickez-ici dept.

twitter writes "The NYT is raising the alarm on electronic voting. After citing expert opinion on the need for a paper trail, they then quote election officials and vendors who dismiss that opinion as the ignorant work of dreamers. The reporter titles his article, 'To Register Doubts, Press Here' and seems less than convinced."

    The only way I can think of to make electronic voting work securely is to register every citizen, implant a chip under out skin that has an ID number, and use our fingerprint/retina for a pin. This would solve nearly every security problem out there, including voting. Plus no passwords to remember.

    Publicaly appealing: no
    Secure: Mostly
    Big brother: Yes
    Good way to get body parts forcibly removed: Yes
    Satan (mark of beast): I think this would qualify
