Professor Avi Rubin of Johns Hopkins University spoke about the whole fiasco of eVoting at the USENIX '04 conference in Boston last week. He spoke of his experiences working on this issue in a panel session "The Politicization of Security," along with Gary McGraw of Cigital, Professor Ed Felton of Princeton, and Jeff Grove of the ACM. From what Professor Rubin said, the electronic voting is a very politically charred issue. Companies like Diabold developing technologies have strong political ties, and yes, the system is targeted for abuse. Professor Rubin spoke of how difficult it was to work with the government. He received tons of phone calls from both sides, Democrats and Republicans questioning him left and right. Professor Rubin's goal is to be partisan, and it's incredibly hard to do because the Democrats and Republicans can't sit on the same table together at all. There's so much fighting and bickering over the issue from both parties because the notion is "we don't want the other guy to win." Professor Rubin was called to testify in front of Congress about the technology and limitations of eVoting and the meeting time has been changed or cancelled so many times. The punchline from Professor Rubin was "Partisanship has never been worse."

Since I heard that both Apple and Microsoft will not be at this year's Macworld in Boston, I have wondered where Steve Jobs would reveal new products and swag. I guess the question was answered at the Apple WWDC.
