The Security Mentor

Every now and then there's a story which reports that all-electronic voting has worked fine in India or in Brazil, and that it's just plain weird that the US should have any objections.

via Techdirt, here's a story about massive election fraud in Brazil. When you see "DRE", it stands for "Direct Recording Electronic". Direct recording means that the machine counts the votes as well as collecting them.

Apparently the Brazilian system doesn't keep an independent record of each vote that can be used as a crosscheck.
