joel's thoughts

I haven’t posted much about this issue yet, but touch-screen voting is something that concerns me deeply. Much has been said in various media and such about the issue, but I recently came across a very good post by Bruce Schneier, a well-regarded expert in the areas of cryptography and computer security, so I thought I might share it with you. He clearly lays out the major issues and concerns, and sticks with clear non-technical language. If you have any desire to know whether or not our current election process can be trusted as accurate and reliable, or just want to know what all the fuss is about, I highly recommend reading his post.
