Building a Better Voting Machine
edmicman writes "Wired News has an interesting article about what would make the perfect voting machine: 'With election season upon us, Wired News spoke with two of the top computer scientists in the field, UC Berkeley's David Wagner and Princeton's Ed Felten, and came up with a wish list of features we would include in a voting machine, if we were asked to create one. These recommendations can't guarantee clean results on their own. Voting machines, no matter how secure, are no remedy for poor election procedures and ill-conceived election laws. So our system would include thorough auditing and verification capabilities and require faithful adherence to good election practices, as wells as topnotch usability and security features.'"
Oh for crying out loud not this again.
Let me get my Amiga 1000 out of the closet. Here I'll even dust it off for you. Here. Here's the KickStart and Workbench floppy discs. Here's the keyboard with the cool "telephone cord" cable thing. Here's the mouse. Lemee write an AREXX script.
