E-Voting Challenge in California

  • Mercury News: State curbs use of e-vote. California Secretary of State Kevin Shelley on Friday banned the use of touch-screen voting machines in the November election unless they meet stringent security measures. He barred outright the use of a new Diebold electronic voting system in Kern, San Diego, San Joaquin and Solano counties. Ten other counties -- including Santa Clara and Alameda -- will only be permitted to use touch-screen voting if they provide a paper receipt for digital ballots cast or meet 23 security conditions, including disconnecting the machines from phone lines and the Internet.
  • This is amazingly good news, and shows that Shelley has been, in effect, radicalized by the outrageous behavior of the voting-machine industry. The companies selling their balloting snake oil went too far, and now they're going to have to do the right thing. Most notably in Shelley's announcement yesterday, he said he'd referred the case of the notorious Diebold Election Systems to the attorney general for possible criminal, not just civil, prosecution. The record is already clear that Diebold has -- at absolute best -- been irresponsible and has dissembled about what it's been doing in California (and who knows how many other states). Had Diebold not been so over the top, Shelley might have allowed the 2004 election to proceed as planned even in counties using non-Diebold machines. The requirement for a voter-verifiable paper trail had not been scheduled to take effect for two more years. Now, faced with an industry that insists on pretending all is well when all is blatantly not well, he's doing the right thing early. The paper trail will now have to work this year, or the machines won't be allowed. Predictably, local voting officials -- the same people who've been so negligent in adopting an unproven, maybe dangerous technology -- are screaming about the unfairness of it all. They're partly responsible for this fiasco. They should stop complaining and get to work. We're only talking about the core of our republic here.

    We knew that California Secretary of State Kevin Shelley understood the real issues involved with complaints concerning electronic voting machines. After all, he was the one last year who said that all electronic voting machines in California should have a paper trail. Now, following a recommendation last week concerning problem s with the way Diebold managed their e-voting machines, Shelley has gone even beyond the recommendations to say that all electronic voting machines will be banned from the state, unless they implement a certifiable paper trail or put in place a specific list of 23 security measures. At the end of the article, he also appears to indicate that he's asking the state Attorney General to file charges against Diebold for knowin gly breaking the law.

    Once a lone voice in the wilderness extolling the virtues of Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) technology, Sonic Software now finds itself with lots of company. The idea of ESBs is to offer a standards-based integration platform that brings together service-oriented architectures (SOAs), messaging, Web services, and XML with a distributed deployment model. Perhaps the most vocal evangelist for this technology has been Gordon Van Huizen, Sonic's CTO, who has played a central role in developing his company's flagship product. Van Huizen recently spoke with InfoWorld Editor At Large Ed Scannell about the still evolving competitive nature of the ESB market and where his company's technology fits in between the offerings of IBM and Microsoft's still off-in-the-distance Indigo technology, which will be stitched into Longhorn.
