Internet Voting a "disaster in waiting"
Internet voting systems too insecure, researcher warns
http://j.mp/yHJ2nU (Computerworld)
"Internet voting systems are inherently insecure and should not be
allowed in the upcoming general elections, a noted security researcher
said at the RSA Conference 2012 being held here this week. David
Jefferson, a computer scientist at Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratories and chairman of the election watchdog group Verified
Voting, called on election officials around the country to drop plans
to allow an estimated 3.5 million voters to cast their ballots over
the Internet in this year's general elections."

Nothing fundamentally has changed to make Internet Voting any less
insecure since I wrote "Hacking the Vote" in 2000:
