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?

“Nevada residents became the first in the nation to vote on computers that leave a paper trail, taking part in a primary that produced scattered reports of delays — though none of the serious problems that have cast doubt upon electronic voting systems in other states. 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.

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"

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.

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.

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.

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.

Florida Lost Electronic Voting Data

Florida Lost Electronic Voting Data 07/28/2004 01:06 PM
The electronic voting story keeps getting worse and worse -- especially in, of all places, Florida. We've already mentioned how Florida's e-voting machines had audit trails that didn't match the actual vote totals and how Florida has a law prohibi ting recounts for electronic voting machines. Now, the news comes out that, despite being required by law to keep the data from the machines for 22 months, election officials in Miami-Dade county admit that a hard-drive crash has wiped out the data from some electronic voting machines used in the 2002 election and there's simply no record of the votes any more. They quickly point out that all the votes were (probably) counted at the time of the election, but (of course) there's really no way to make sure that's true at all. It's also not the real point. This is highlighting (once again) how unreliable these machines are, and without any kind of paper trail, there's simply no way to go back and make sure that (a) the votes were counted (b) they were counted accurately and (c) they can be counted again.
