Papal elections are more secure than US
elections
Papal elections are more secure than US
elections
04/14/2005 12:47 PMCory Doctorow:
The process for electing a new Pope is amazingly baroque and weird.
Bruce Schneier has posted a long and engrossing security analysis of
how the election works and how its simple and ancient procedures (and
the small number of participants) make it more secure than modern
electronic voting systems:
How hard is this to hack? The first observation is that the system is
entirely manual, making it immune to the sorts of technological
attacks that make modern voting systems so risky. The second
observation is that the small group of voters -- all of whom know each
other -- makes it impossible for an outsider to affect the voting in
any way. The chapel is cleared and locked before voting. No one is
going to dress up as a cardinal and sneak into the Sistine Chapel. In
effect, the voter verification process is about as perfect as you're
ever going to find.
Eavesdropping on the process is certainly possible, although the rules
explicitly state that the chapel is to be checked for recording and
transmission devices "with the help of trustworthy individuals of
proven technical ability." I read that the Vatican is worried about
laser microphones, as there are windows near the chapel's roof.
That leaves us with insider attacks. Can a cardinal influence the
election? Certainly the Scrutineers could potentially modify votes,
but it's difficult. The counting is conducted in public, and there are
multiple people checking every step. It's possible for the first
Scrutineer, if he's good at sleight of hand, to swap one ballot paper
for another before recording it. Or for the third Scrutineer to swap
ballots during the counting process.

logical next step in the Bush administration's campaign to protect the
rights of the unconceived: protecting the rights of the inanimate.
This is yknow a huge step backwards for women's health and for
contraception and the prevention of abortions. But it is a huge step
forward for what we at Fafblog like to call the "rights of the
unconceived," which is just a few short steps from what we are really
lookin forward to which is the rights of the inanimate.
I have personally spent hours an hours talkin to cans, waffle irons,
boxes, printer cartridges and forks and they all dream of one thing:
no longer bein treated as second-class citizens in the United States.

Is the CIA
tampering with Venezuelan elections? A Venezuelan news
organization
reports that
an email was sent to the world press this afternoon, claiming to be
early election results indicating a defeat for
outspoken Bush critic
Hugo Chavez. The email in question appears to be a fraud, sent from a
location in Virginia. There are also reports coming in of
phony election
results being broadcast on Venezuelan television, and
rigged
exit polls organized by the very people who supported
an unsuccessful
coup against Chavez in 2002 -- an organization
fun
ded by our government through the National Endowment for
Democracy.
Your tax dollars at work.
Former President Carter
reports that the elections are going well, with a huge
turnout, but if Chavez wins, will there be an organized effort --
funded by U.S. tax dollars -- to discredit the election anyway?

As expected, pro-government Uri Party got 152
seats out of 299, which gives them the majority. Han-nara
(Grand National)
Party lost its majority position but still managed to eek out a
respectable showing,
thanks to the daughter of a former dictator who took control of the
party just weeks
before the election. It's funny how conservatives prefer the
nostalgic certainty
of iron-clad rule by dictators over euphoric optimism of
liberals. Min-noh (Democratic
Labor) Party emerged in the third place, making the
ultra-liberal pro-labor party
a political force to be reckoned with.
