The Security Mentor

Defenders of today's electronic voting machines raise that question. They also point out that there were a lot of problems with the old systems (remember Florida in 2000?) and that computers could make things better.

My favorite security writer answers these questions in a blog article about requirements for electronic voting machines. In a nutshell, imagine how hard it would be to have a safe ATM network if your withdrawals had to be as anonymous as your vote. But he has a lot more to say. It's all well thought out, it's all good, and it is important.
