NIST Recommends that E-voting Machines be De-certified


The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is recommending that the 2007 version of the Voluntary Voting Systems Guidelines (VVSG) decertify direct record electronic (DRE) machines.
In the article, they explain how NIST has found that the machines have no paper trail, and that a single programmer could rig an entire election. Uh…hello? This is not news, this was well know for a long time before now. Hopefully now that NIST has said it, someone in congress will pay attention.
Also, for brilliant social commentary on the issue, please see this: Diebold Accidentally Releases Results of 2008 Election Early.Tags: Diebold, Evoting
