To have elections -- the core of the American democratic process---
become an activity of cyber-space,
is something I find spooky. .

Hackers have proven to be some of the most talented minds of
our time and there has yet to be a cyber-system that has
been made impregnable to attack. When it comes to voting for
President or anything else, I would rather take my chances
with the hanging chads. than risk electronic election chaos . ~~

It's official: Diebold election bugware can't be trusted | The Register: "Due to irregularities in the 2004 election traced to touch screen terminals, North Carolina has taken the very reasonable precaution of requiring vendors of electronic voting gizmos to place all of the source code in escrow. Diebold has objected to the possibility of criminal sanctions if they fail to comply, and argued for an exemption before Wake County Superior Court Judge Narley Cashwell. The judge declined to issue an exemption, and Diebold has concluded that it has no choice but withdraw from the state."
