The two years leading up to today's U.S. presidential election have not been good for electronic voting, which is estimated to tally, or at least attempt to tally, about 30 percent of all U.S. votes, or an estimated 50 million ballots. The failures of voting machines and the software they run has been rivaled only by inadequate federal and state election certification procedures that allowed questionable technology to be carrying, or possibly corrupting, American votes. However, after all of the frozen voting terminals, lost software loads, mysteriously found machines, and vendors' efforts to keep it all hushed, there is some good news on e-voting.
Let me honest, after a bit before mid-way I began a rapid scan, because the basic assumption is those with the means and interest really want to do it right. Sorry, I am just not that optimistic! Stifling the vote is in too many parties interest.
I will agree that the short comings will be glaring obvious to most, but another two years hence we will see variations on the same theme with new ways to pervert the vote via electronic and sloppy coding means.
