Criticism of US military Internet voting

I've been run off my feet doing fieldwork, with ne'er a computer in sight, hence lack of posts.

CNN reported this week that the Internet-based voting system being introduced for the US army posted overseas has come in for criticism. The system is due to be released in a few weeks, but a group of US computer scientists (David Wagner, Avi Rubin, David Jefferson and Barbara Simons) have described the system as flawed, principally owing to weak security.

Also in CNN this week is an introduction to the issues surrounding security of electronic voting.
