BBV: Hanging chad's legacy

[Andy_Stephenson]

In 1990, before the Web went World Wide, "online" was where people stood at banks.

Technology has come a long way since. But as New Jersey and other states prepare to buy thousands of computerized voting machines for next year's presidential election, experts say one thing hasn't changed. Most of the machines are certified to technical standards set almost 14 years ago.


That means elections could be vulnerable to security breaches nobody anticipated in those ancient times, some computer scientists contend.

2. I agree

Voter Verified Paper Ballot...is the only way to go.

3. Nothing wrong with technology being used.

Its how its used, and currently these voting machine companies have made it clear on their purpose and that they cannot be depended upon.

They need our support to make their well planned out, OPEN system a reality.
