This Week in E-Voting
Posted by Rebecca Bolin on Wednesday, September 22 @ 17:02:43 EDT Governance
This week's e-voting news starts in the Hurrican Ivan-torn Orleans parish in Louisiana, one of the only modernized parishes in the state; the others are still using lever machines. Officials are investigating delivery problems. The machines arrived late to many polling places, disenfranchising hundreds or even thousands of voters. Some elections were as close as 1% at the close of polls.

Back in Maryland, an election worker refused to give back a Diebold voting machine, claiming he wanted an independent investigator to examine it. A judge ordered him to return the machine, and it has since been returned.

In other news, New Zealand is now undecided about Internet voting and plans to issue further recommendations soon.
