AP NEWS: E-Voting Systems Flawed
a couple links-same story http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/artic...L&type=politics http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2006Ju...ngStudy,00.html

Even the printing of paper records — widely seen as a countermeasure to hacking and other attacks on ATM-like touchscreen machines — does little good if audits aren't routinely and automatically performed, researchers said. Their report said that fewer than half of the 26 states requiring paper records also require regular audits.


Here are a couple interesting points, but the entire article is worth reading, hmm, the mainstream media again??? We knew most of this over a year ago, but it was IGNORED!

"We're talking about straightforward things, most of which could be in place for the 2006 elections."


Rep. Rush Holt, D-N.J., has introduced legislation requiring paper records and random audits for federal elections in at least 2 percent of precincts in each state.
so why they don't make this a higher prioirty that talking yet again about flag buring. We should burn the flag if they don't pass this IMHO!

1. Rush Holt has had bills on e-voting back as far as 2002
All ignored by the Rs.

I worked on HR-2239 and it never saw the light of day in Congress.
