Comment Why would you have any code at the booth? (Score 1) 370
Why not leave all the code for the voting system at a central (secure) location and use dumb terminals at the ballot boxes?
Then the problem is one of comms security and authentication etc.
Also how is an electronic system *really* any more or less fallable than a paper based system?
Some mystique and extra value seems to be placed on having a paper based physical ballot paper, when to my mind an electronic copy has almost all of the same properties, good and bad... I cant see an electronic voting system being any worse than the current US system.
