Demo of Free Software Voter-Verifiable Voting

Lulu of the Lotus-Ea writes "The Open Voting Consortium (OVC) is holding a demonstration of its Free Software voting system in Santa Clara, California on April 1, 2004 (yeah, I know the date, but it's not a joke). An announcement on the OVC homepage has further details. The Sourceforge hosted EVM2003 project of the OVC has produced touchscreen and vision-impared interface voting systems that produce visually inspectable (or machine-aided audio verification) paper ballots. As well, OVC will demonstrate systems for reconcilliation and reporting of precint results, and provide handouts and a presentation explaining the virtues of a publicly inspectible system with a tamper-proof paper trail."

    I think he is right, these mithuro guys seem to make posts solely to direct people onto their web sites. Sometimes the links are slightly related to the topic (as in this case) other times they just point to the main site.

    Ok, this post was not a pure troll post as such, but who would rate it +5 ? It's a summary post, and not a particularly good one. I think this is a whole ring of mithuro spammers who mod each other up. They seem to be about to break through the moderation system.

    Mods please keep an eye on any mithuro posts. :-(
