USATODAY.com - The wrenching experience of the 2000 presidential vote recount in Florida set in motion an urgent makeover of the nation's voting systems, designed to get rid of problematic equipment and procedures. But as Election Day 2004 approaches, that job remains far from complete, and the potential for problems is as great as ever.

National "Computer Ate My Vote" Day

National "Computer Ate My Vote" Day 07/13/2004 12:29 PM

VerifiedVoting.org has declared today National "Computer Ate My Vote" Day in order to raise awareness regarding the vast numbers of completely paperless electronic voting machines that are going in across the country.

VerifiedVoting.org and the Verified Voting Foundation champion reliable and publicly verifiable elections in the United States.

We advocate the use of voter-verified paper ballots (VVPBs) for all elections in the United States, so voters can inspect individual permanent records of their ballots before they are cast and so meaningful recounts may be conducted. We also insist that electronic voting equipment and software be open to public scrutiny and that random, surprise recounts be conducted on a regular basis to audit election equipment.

I'm all for computer automation, but as a programmer, I know all to well the problems that can arise, and completely electronic voting scares the bejeesus out of me, especially given the fact that the leading vendor, Diebold, has a pretty bad track record. VerifiedVoting.org is taking a pretty wise approach to this; they're not against all electronic voting machines, they just insist that the machines leave a paper trail. Otherwise, the fact that the whole election hinges on a few database entries will leave us with a lot more problems than some dangling chads.

Geek Conferences: Nothing to Fear but
Fear Itself 02/16/2004 05:37 AM
Is the O'Reilly Emerging Technologies Conference elitist? This question seems to be stirring up the blogosphere, and causing lots of good people who I read and like to throw verbal bricks at each other. I thought that as someone who is clearly not a member of the blogging elite, I might have a useful perspective to offer. Is the conference elitist? Of course it is - and no, it isn't. Both are true. It is elitist in the sense that it requires interest, knowing that the conference is going to happen, and being able to come up with the large amounts of time and money to attend. This rules out a very large proportion of the world. However, if someone is motivated and willing to rough it, it is possible to attend the conference for a lot less money than the standard cost of the conference and swanky hotel. In my case I found cheap late night flights on Southwest, stayed in a very cheap hostel (though not as cheap as the hacker loft crash pad), and got a free pass to the conference by writing and asking Tim O'Reilly nicely for one -- I saw other free passes being given away via the Wiki. So the money doesn't have to be the huge barrier it seems like at first, but attending does require a bit of luck and or chutzpah, geographical proximity, and being willing to stay in considerably less than stellar accommodations. The conference can also feel elitist because so many of the people who attend know each other. Many of them have long-standing professional, technical and personal ties (and ongoing feuds). If, like me, you are somewhat reticent by nature, you don't have ties to lots of people at the conference, and you don't have any particular product or idea to promote, it can be easy to feel intimidated or like an outsider surrounded by insiders. For instance, one day of the conference I ran into Dan Gillmor, Doc Searls, Micah Sifry and Scott Rosenberg at a cafe next door to the conference. I read 3 out of 4 of them regularly, I respect their work a lot, and I would have enjoyed sitting at their lunch table and listening to them talk. Did they invite me to join them for lunch? Of course not, no more than I would invite a random stranger I saw...
