Thanks all, I was thinking this would be more a Libtech question than a cpunks one ;-) I confess, editor asked me to do the topic, but I'm taking it on the basis that 1) more skepticism about voting the better, since voting sucks; 2) democracy sucks, and basically my strategy is becoming to write an article such that I can add to the tweets promoting it a link to a blog post or some such with more radical material like this one against democracy altogether: https://georgiebc.wordpress.com/2012/11/05/the-problems-with-democracy-2/ But still! If you have something creative or useful to say about e-voting hacks, scandals, etc., please do chime in before this thread meets the dustbin of history. There's the case of the Karl Rove IT guy, present for many e-voting scandals, who died in the suspicious plane crash right before testifying: http://www.democracynow.org/2008/12/22/republican_it_specialist_dies_in_plan...

Finally...in honor of all elections, to use a corporate term: blue-sky thinking. If you were going after (esp. U.S.) computerized voting systems, what would you do?

Besides smash them for being a completely unnecessary obfuscation? ... program them to discard votes for Rep or Dem candidates until three or more parties and independants arise.
