Analysis of an Electronic Voting System
URL: http://avirubin.com/vote/

Description:
An expose of vulnerabilities in electronic voting software. The Johns Hopkins Information Security Institute reported on security risks of the Diebold voting system, and electronic voting systems in general, when they found the system's computer source code on the Internet. "This ... independent scientific analysis of voting system source code demonstrates the fallacy of the closed-source argument for such a critical system." The site has a link to Diebold's rebuttal of the report and responses to the rebuttal.
