Is Arizona's Internet Voting System Safe Enough?

JMcCloy writes "Kevin Poulsen, senior editor at Wired News, asks readers 'Is internet voting safe?' and has a poll at the end of the article. So far, 32% responding actually think that internet voting is worth it, risks and all. It is scary how easily people can be persuaded to trust a system that is so vulnerable." The system described, used in Arizona in last year's election process, isn't just checking a box and clicking a button, but Poulsen lays out some scenarios by which it could be subverted.

Ask your representative what they think about the Robinson Method

lol, wow Mr. Robinson, you're seriously deluded if a) you think posting as AC will fool us and b) you really think anyone would know about your "method", let alone care. You're just a blogger, with everything it implies about how no one cares about whatever you gotta say. Besides, I couldn't bring myself to read your suggestion that would probably fill 20 pages when printed, but it seems very convoluted and basically be not electronic voting. Paper voting works very well, no need for some complicated bullshit.

any place I've submitted it has basically rejected the idea out of hand and has made no comment on it.

Get the fucking hint, if no one cares even to tell you what's wrong with your suggestion, it's probably because they don't consider it even worthy of commenting. Seriously, get the hint. Stop blogging, that shit sucks. Do something worthwhile, like spending time your family, or go to a pub and meet people. Or better yet work out, weighting 400 lbs is hardly healthy.
