As the U.S. presidential primary season approaches, a debate is raging about electronic voting--and IT professionals and computer scientists are among the loudest critics.

The issue has grown in urgency thanks to the Help America Vote Act of 2002, the U.S. Congress's attempt to forestall a repeat of the infamous Florida election debacle of 2000. The bill, known as HAVA, makes as much as $3.8 billion in funding available to states in the short term for replacing older punch card and lever election equipment--reforms that must be implemented by January 2006.

It is SOOOOO suspect of the companies that are trying to squash the Voter Verified Paper Ballot issue....they're all but coming out and saying "but how can we steal elections with all this verification mess???"

I can't wait for the Bev Harris/Andy Stephenson press conference today.
