its true...
FOR THE PARTIES ONLY... not online....
what if it could leak???
could be a easier to fraud or to protect the elections???
what do YOU think???
check http://www.votoseguro.org/ [votoseguro.org] actually these informations are based on information i have been given by patients of mine that work at the electoral court. i think the lack of info is a failure to show how secure (or insecure) the elections are...;)... the least people who knows about the process is better because it will result in less people to tamper the system.... by fate i have just spoken with a computer analyst of the electoral court and he gave me more info about the system. @ the parties can use softwares to test against the machines, only one party this year did this (PT). @ it has two flash cards with raid redundancy.. one is used to check the votes and another is the backup
Some patients of mine work with the elections in Brazil. Being a slashdot guy for a while I am always asking them questions about the voting system.
What I have learned:
# the code is available in advance for the parties OPEN SOURCE (only not online)
# the software/firmware is loaded on the machines in front of the parties
# the machine has no open slots for the outside world
# it is sealed tamper free with a special seal that solf destroys once openned.
# the is a hash code to ensure the validity of the files
# only the vote is recorded, there is no way on knowing who voted on who.
# the order of the votes on the files is radomly changed every new vote

In my region, Urban Terror is a VERY popular cross plataform (Win, Mac, Linux) free FPS. I love it...
