Nevada E-Voting With Paper Backup
Primary Gets Good Results

Nevada E-Voting With Paper Backup
Primary Gets Good Results 09/08/2004 12:32 PM
Back in May we noted that election officials who didn't want to use e-voting machines with a paper trail were hoping Nevada's use of the machines would fail. Nevada was the first state to require that e-voting machines have a paper trail, and yesterday the primary in Nevada used those machines and very few problems were reported. There were, as always, some technical problems here or there, but unlike the other e-voting machines, at least people could check to see if their vote was actually recorded. Looks like those election officials hoping the Nevada experiment would fail should start shopping for new e-voting machines. If they're in California, they might want to avoid Diebold, which doesn't have the greatest reputation in the state these days.

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?

Making E-Voting Systems With Paper
Receipts Even Better

Making E-Voting Systems With Paper
Receipts Even Better 06/08/2004 10:50 AM
With all the talk lately about e-voting, one thing that continually gets mixed up is exactly what the fight is over. Those who are fighting to keep the existing machines like to claim that those who want a verifiable paper trail are fighting against progress - trying to go backwards away from electronic voting to a paper world. Of course, nothing can be further from the truth. Those who want the verifiable paper receipt aren't against electronic voting at all. They just understand the technology enough to realize that the current system isn't particularly secure or reliable and they want to make it better. Once you start going down that trail, however, you need to come up with a system that really is more secure and reliable, and that's where some researchers are putting a lot of attention these days. They're trying to go beyond just adding a verifiable paper ballot, to using systems to make sure that you can check after-the-fact, to guarantee that your vote really was properly counted. Most of the article focuses on David Chaum's system, which tends to bring out very strong opinions in people (too often focused on Chaum, himself, rather than the system). The argument against such systems is that they're either too complex or too expensive (or both), but no one ever said democracy was supposed to be cheap.

Paper Ballot E-Voting Machines Fails
During Test 08/16/2004 02:47 AM
While at first glance it might look bad that one of the first new e-voting machines from Sequoia that actually has a paper ballot backup system failed during a demo test, it actually does a wonderful job proving the point most people fighting against current e-voting machines have been trying to prove. The system failed to mark the paper ballot on votes recorded in Spanish, which may seem embarrassing during the test. However, by not marking the paper ballot, it was immediately clear that there was a glitch in the system which could then be fixed. With traditional electronic voting machines that had no paper ballot backup, no one would know whether or not their vote was counted at all.

While California is banning all e-voting machines unless they agree to some fairly strict security provisions, it looks like Ohio has now auth orized the use of e-voting machines for the November election. The state will require a paper trail for e-voting machines - but not until May of 2006. If they're going to require it anyway, I don't see why they shouldn't require it now. This basically means that for the next two years we have no way of knowing how accurate votes from Ohio will be.

Election Officials Hoping E-Voting

Election Officials Hoping E-Voting
Machines With Paper Receipts Fail 05/27/2004 11:04 AM
You would think that the goal of an election official would be to help guarantee the most accurate election possible, promoting the benefits of democracy. However, it seems that that's not true at all. We've already talked about election officials who have decided to ignore rules requiring their electronic voting machines be more secure and others who are suing because they don't want to make their machines more secure. However, now that Nevada is going to use e-voting machines with a paper trail, many election officials are hoping the machines will fail just to say "I told you so!" Once again, they're missing the point. It is very likely that some of the machines will have bugs - and all of these election officials will start screaming about them. However, the problem with the current e-voting machines is that no one knows if there are bugs or not in how the votes are actually counted. Just because you've set up the system to not inform you if something goes wrong, it doesn't mean that everything has gone right. Shouldn't we trust a system that will at least let us double check if something has gone wrong more than one that doesn't let us check at all? Of course, the article notes that the paper trail in these Nevada elections will be useless, because it doesn't qualify as a legitimate ballot to be recounted. In other words, the only point of using e-voting with the paper trail in these elections is to see if the machines jam up, and then let election officials complain loudly about the problems with paper receipt e-voting machines.

Cryptography is the mathematics underlying computer security. While a Ph.D. in cryptography is hardly a requirement for keeping one's systems secure, an understanding of the basics helps in decision making about security, both for system administrators and IT managers. In this article, I present a non-technical overview of a few key concepts in cryptography that are relevant to consumers of security solutions. I then look at some widespread myths about cryptography, and give some advice on practical matters relating to cryptography.
