An anonymous reader writes "For more than a decade, Aviel "Avi" Rubin, a professor of computer science at Johns Hopkins University in the US and an e-voting activist, has been a vocal critic of e-voting systems. In this interview Rubin talks about the recent US presidential primary election cycle and his thoughts on e-voting going into the November US elections."

    Just make it available online so everyone can log in and check how/whether his/her vote is counted (after the elections) together with other statistics (how many people voted in his/her district etc).

    I don't understand the problem with e-voting. Paper trail is no easier to check. Do you propose to check all the votesheets manually? I think it's infeasible, you will need a computer anyway, which will be probably even more prone to rigging than certified e-voting system.
