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.

    Of course you're not the brilliant Mr. Robinson, you're just one of his numerous avid fans who cruise the interwebs to benevolently spread his word and who coincidentally happen to post on Slashdot just like him.

    And like I said, no one cares. Besides it was TL;DR. Anyways, have fun wasting your time fighting windmills, eventually you'll realise that even if you think your idea is the best idea since sliced bread, still no one will care about it.
