It is impossible for a company to be non-partisan. That is why it would be nice to develop an open source solution. That would be non-partisan. Having being created by democrats, republicans, anarchists, whoever wanted to contribute. -JP -----Original Message----- From: Barry Fitzgerald [mailto:bkfsec () sdf lonestar org] Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2004 2:19 PM To: vvaduva () dapsco com Cc: bugtraq () securityfocus com; Polazzo Justin; pressinfo () diebold com Subject: Re: Diebold Global Election Management System (GEMS) Backdoor Account Allows Authenticated Users to Modify Votes vvaduva () dapsco com wrote:
Well now you are getting assinine and political! If that's the case, why would I trust my democrat baker with making non-poisoned bread for me? The problem is technical not political! e-voting is CRAP...insecure, inaccurate. Stick with what works, i.e. paper ballots. They are cheap, accountable and hard to fake.
The problem is both technical and political. The political impacts the technical -- the technical aspect doesn't exist in a bubble. Likewise, I wouldn't trust a voting machine that was created by a company whose executives promised elections to democrats. I wasn't making a point about the party, I was making a point about the appearance of partisanship. Voting machine companies should be inherently non-partisan. -Barry
