Electronic Voting Machines Implication Bungled
+
 
+
The 2000 presidential election was historic, (facts about fl).  As a result Congress implemented the Help Americans Vote Act (explain).  However, in the race to implement the requirement to use electronic voting machines (true?), the implication became horribly bungled.
+
 
+
The software so hastily written.  Bad process (from report); no comments; anyone could commit changes; no review process.
+
 
+
As a result, many issues have come up.  Security and mistakes
+
 
+
Theoretical mistakes (can’t recount – so don’t know if mistake)
+
 
+
Have not affected an election yet – that we know of; but some elections close (Al Frankin) – what machines used then?
+
 
+
Societal implications about having accurate machines; needed for democracy
+
 
+
Not an excuse to ignore vulnerabilities with the machines; problem with old machines yes – but now is the chance to fix problems with old system (accessibility, security); goal is not to = security of old system but perfect security (absence of no insecurities)
+
 
+
Why does society accept this?
+
 
+
What we can do to fix: open source code (let people review), more careful coding standards, voter verified paper trails
