E-Voting Concerns Revisited

Filed under: Nuggets — docsfluency @ 12:05 pm

Following on the discussion in the previous post, it appears that concerns about the use of E-Voting machines is now quite widespread. The Sunday New York Times has a prominent piece that opens:

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 — A growing number of state and local officials are getting cold feet about electronic voting technology, and many are making last-minute efforts to limit or reverse the rollout of new machines in the November elections.

The new concerns stem from a 2005 National Research Council report that argues, a little bit ominously, that questions raised by academics “should not be discouraged or suppressed.”
