E-Voting Firm VoteHere Discloses October Break-In

linuxwrangler writes "In the ongoing saga of electronic voting 'security,' eVoting company VoteHere is the latest to reveal that they were the victim of a computer break-in. According to VoteHere founder, Jim Adler, the concern isn't about their source code which they plan to reveal 'eventually,' anyway, but is about the possible release of salary and other HR data. Astoundingly, the 'hot poll' associated with this story has (as this is being posted) 28% of respondents saying they would trust their vote on the internet and 41% saying 'not now, but maybe soon.' Feel free to cast your vote." Reader nSignIfikaNt points to the Assocated Press' article as carried by CNN.

I agree, and cannot see my vote going o'er the internet anytime in the future, but we (as a slashdot collective) are forever hopeful that our beloved Linux/BSD will find a way to do just about anything. While current e-voting has been massivly flawed, surely some enterprising devloper will come up with something about the problem someday. Until then, I'm content to make the trek out to a polling place once a year.
