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.
Internet voting is a very bad idea.
People have died (are dying) for this right.
To have it taken away by a successful technocrat is unacceptable.
Real paper ballots that need to be counted and can be stored
(and found in some deceitful persons trunk)
are much better than the arguments that will emerge after every single election
when even a hint of hacking (cracking) has appeared.
there's democracy in action!
