Electronic voting Analysis of an Electronic Voting System 
 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. http://avirubin.com/vote/ Topics: 2004 Presidential Election, Computers, Computers, Politics, Technology Last updated Sep 10, 2003 Black Box Voting: Ballot-tampering in the 21st Century
