May 23, 2007, 4:02pm (report abuse)The Hill and activists alike are abuzz with the disinformation campaign behind this democracy-demolishing monstrosity. This bill kills democracy:
1) Quintuples the budget and expands authority of the EAC: four white house appointees controlling America's voting systems
2) Criminalizes disclosure of vote counting information - enshrining secret vote counting in the United States of America!
3) Imposes timelines and conflicting requirements that are unconstitutional in their impossible fulfillment within constitutional requirements for certifying elections

September 25, 2007, 3:09pm (report abuse)Paper audit trails have a number of limitations. The Information Technology & Innovation Foundation released a report that recommends Congress require independent or verifiable audit trails, but that Congress not mandate these audit trails be paper. Many other types of audit trails exist which could offer better verifiability and security (audio trails, video audit trails, etc.). ITIF also recommends that Congress focus on voting systems with end-to-end or universal verifiability. We explain the cryptography behind these voting systems in our paper -- http://www.itif.org/files/evoting.pdf
