The Paper Trail

The Paper Trail 05/31/2004 07:10 AM
The Paper Trail "But TIME has obtained an internal Pentagon e-mail sent by an Army Corps of Engineers official—whose name was blacked out by the Pentagon—that raises questions about Cheney's arm's-length policy toward his old employer. Dated March 5, 2003, the e-mail says "action" on a multibillion-dollar Halliburton contract was "coordinated" with Cheney's office. The e-mail says Douglas Feith, a high-ranking Pentagon hawk, got the "authority to execute RIO," or Restore Iraqi Oil, from his boss, who is Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz. RIO is one of several large contracts the U.S. awarded to Halliburton last year"

Nevada Goes With E-Voting Paper Trail As
Well 12/12/2003 04:35 AM
As predicted a few weeks back when California announced that they were requirin g a paper trail on any e-voting machine, having such a large state do so would make other states follow suit. So, the next one up appears to be Nevada who announced today that they'll require paper receipts. However, here's where the article gets weird. They're claiming that they're the first state to do so, but that seems to ignore the California announcement from last month. The only thing that might support this claim (and this isn't clear) is that the California mandate is basically: if you use electronic voting machines, there needs to be a paper trail. The Nevada announcement appears to be: everyone must use electronic voting machines and there needs to be a paper trail. Completely off topic, but, since my experience with Nevada has been that everywhere you go there will be a slot machine, why doesn't one of these voting machine companies come up with a combined slot machine/voting machine?

Diebold Will Add A Paper Trail... At A
Huge Price 12/16/2003 01:47 PM
I think it's now been determined exactly why Diebold is so afraid of adding a paper trail to their voting machines: they keep getting burned by paper trails. After emails exposed just how insecure their voting machines were, a set of internal Diebold communications show an employee suggesting that, should they be required to retrofit voting machines with paper trails that they charge ridiculously high fees to do so. Diebold has said that the cost of the printers included in a voting machine would run about $1,000 to $1,200, which may seem a bit high for a pretty simple printer. The internal memos, however, point out that this is just part of the strategy. Since they're going in and replacing or retrofitting machines that have already been bought, Diebold sees them as captive customers who will be forced to pay whatever Diebold wants.

A delegation of federal election officials monitored the equipment’s debut Tuesday in the state capital as voters cast ballots for congressional candidates, state legislators, school officials and judges.

Whither USENIX?

Whither USENIX? 07/08/2004 12:12 AM
Bryan Cantrill: Wh ither USENIX? "The content of the General Session was academic in the strictest sense: it consisted of papers written by graduate students, solving problems in systems sufficiently small to be solvable by a single graduate student working for a reasonably short period of time. The problem is that many of these systems -- to me at least -- are so small as to not be terribly relevant."

Mitch Wagner sez, "I've been blogging the Usenix security conference here in San Diego, including a talk by EFF counsel Cindy Cohn:"

- EFF is deeply involved in projects to ensure honesty in e-voting. In California, she said, voters have the option to choose a paper ballot. "I'd like to see a significant percentage of people choose the paper in California. this will make the case to the rest of the country that this matters."

Many voting-rights advocates are urging people to sign up for absentee ballots--problem with that is that people order absentee ballots all the time, and legislators will assume the ordering is going on for normal reasons. Only people requesting paper ballots will make a case to legislators that people don't trust e-voting machines.

- EFF is also involved in a project called TechWatch, looking for technical people who want to be involved on election day, serving as, essentially, poll watchers, to document technical snafus on Election Day. More info and sign up on VerifiedVoting.org.

"I am concerned we will have some train wrecks involving the technology. We may not be able to prevent it but we can mitigate it and, more importantly, make sure it doesn't happen again."
