Kilobits Per Second - George Mitchell writes: Henry E Schaffer wrote: I wondered why they would be so much against a voter verifiable printed record. After all, it doesn't take away from the electronic voting, it adds verifiability. It also adds another chain of custody to be verified, adds more mechanical components to fail, and introduces a new denial-of- service attack: a malicious voter who repeatedly claims that the receipt does not match his ballot even when it does. The CACEO has done the right thing.But there's a gap in the "chain of custody" without this -- between thevoter and the recording device. As things are now, you might as wellsay "magic happens here".As for DOS, there's already a limit on how many ballots one voter can"spoil", and this is the same, for the same reason.The CACEO seems to be composed of people who have their egos or theirjobs tied up with being seen to have made the right decision.It seems that these people have misplaced their priorities: The votingprocess is for the benefit of the voters and the candidates, not forthe people who run elections.73, doug
