Internet Voting

I am opposed to voting on the Internet for important elections because:

• it is paperless voting

• it is not secure from insider nor outsider attacks,

• it is vulnerable to phishing, denial of service attacks, and other kinds of attacks

• there is no fall-back if there is a technical problem.

Here are some reports on Internet voting

• The Pentagon cancelled its SERVE project because of the technical issues.

• A Princeton professor also sees security problems : On the Internet vote for the Assemblée des Français de l'Etranger

• California Internet Voting Task Force : A Report on the Feasibility of Internet Voting (1/00)
  "... technological threats to the security, integrity and secrecy of Internet ballots are significant. The possibility of 'Virus' and 'Trojan Horse' software attacks on home and office computers used for voting is very real and, although they are preventable, could result in a number of problems ranging from a denial of service to the submission of electronically altered ballots..."

Nobody, and no machine, should be counting American votes in secret.
