Online Voting In 2004 To Require Windows

Posted by timothy on from the trial-tribulations dept.

letxa2000 writes "According to this article at CBS, a trial Internet voting system will be made available to 100,000 voters in 2004--particularly military and overseas U.S. citizens. As an American living overseas I think this is a step in the right direction. But the article also says 'Voters using SERVE can register to vote and cast their ballots from any computer using Microsoft Windows with Internet access.' Why the Windows requirement? Is that really going to make online voting secure?"

    I don't know if this will make voting secure, in fact I think it will open it up to attackers,

    I think "Dubya" is going to use that flaw as his "Ace in the hole" just in case his popularity drops... It's so much more tidy than another Florida fiasco over "pregnant chads".
