Absolutely Devastating
Absolutely Devastating Testimony on Internet Voting
Prof. J. Alex Halderman of the University of Michigan describes his group's ability to take complete control of Washington, DC's test of internet voting security.
Citizens throughout the US are concerned about the legitimacy of machine vote counts. Voting systems that do not provide a paper audit trail require that citizens trust the company that has provided the voting system. Voting systems such as that used in Humboldt County, CA, which use optically scanned paper ballots, do leave an audit trail of all cast ballots.
Our Project aims to provide images of each counted ballot, so that any person or organization wishing to do an independent count will have access to a complete set of ballot images.
