E-voting raises new questions in Brazil

SAO PAULO, Brazil - Elections in Brazil used to be a monumental challenge, with millions of paper ballots to count by hand, many of them delivered by canoe and horseback from remote Amazon villages. Fraud was widespread, and it often took a week or more to determine the winners.....

"The voting machine is so secure that I would say the only way to tamper with it is to smash it with a hammer," Athayde Fontoura, general director of Brazil's Supreme Electoral Tribunal, said in an interview.

"The more you introduce paper into a voting system the more you introduce the possibility of fraud," said Michael Jacobsen, a Diebold spokesman. "Electronic voting is the most accurate and secure voting that is out there."

The last quote is the single biggest pile of stinky dog dung I have ever heard.

1. That is the dumbest quote ever.

The only thing that can prevent fraud is transparency, public oversight, and accurate record-keeping -- not secret software.
