e-voting update
Wired News reports E-Voting Fears Soar in Swing States and Activists Find More E-Vote Flaws (on Bev Harris's claims), while Yahoo News carried a Reuters story, Electronic-Vote Critics Urge Changes to System, also on the Bev Harris story. Fox News reports on getting monkeys to use voting machines.
Meanwhile the Associated Press carries a story from New Orleans about the failure of voting machines to be delivered for a vote on a constitutional amendment last Saturday (thanks for the info to Whitnmey Quesenbery), demonstrating that there's nothing virtual about 'e-' when it comes to voting: "At least 59 precincts did not have the machines when the polls opened at 6 a.m., apparently because drivers hired to deliver them did not show up, said Scott Madere, a spokesman for the secretary of state, Fox McKeithen." In Spain, Rebecca Mercuri and others will be speaking at Votobit II, taking place in Leon on 7-8 October (thanks to David Glaude for the info), while in the UK, New Media Knowledge is finalising its line-up of speakers for its panel E-voting: Policy and Practice, to take place on 4 November.
