New fears surface over touch-screen voting
May. 12, 2006 at 8:44AM
New fears were reported Friday about a potential security risk in
Diebold Election System touch-screen voting machines.
Officials in Pennsylvania and California have issued urgent
directives in recent days about a possible problem and other states with
similar equipment were assessing the seriousness of the problem, The New
York Times said Friday.
Computer scientists said the problem might allow someone to tamper
with a machine's software in the newest chapter in an emerging political
and legal fight around the country over voting machines, the newspaper
reported.
Michael I. Shamos, an examiner of electronic voting systems for
Pennsylvania, where primary voting is scheduled Tuesday, calls it "the
most severe security flaw ever discovered in a voting system."
Officials at Diebold and a number of states played down any risk,
emphasizing to the Times there were no signs of tampering with the
touch-screen machines.

That's why I vote absentee by mail now. I fill out the form and send it
in. At least I know there was a piece of paper. Even if it does end up
in a shredder, at least I know it existed.

There is something inherently contradictory in trying to make voting idiot
proof. I don't want idiots voting at all. Voting should require a
minimum level of intelligence. Of course, being President should, too,
but we won't go there.
