Salon have another worrying article by Farhad Manjoo on the current problems with electronic voting.

" Over the past several years, as computer
scientists began expressing concerns about the security of touch-

recently observed one of these tests in Riverside County, Calif.,
says that what he saw did nothing to mitigate his concerns about
electronic voting -- indeed, the whole thing made him more worried
than ever."
