Folks - Announcing a new report from CSTB on Electronic Voting. Below is the media advisory on it. Election officials across the United States are increasingly looking to electronic voting systems as a way to administer elections more efficiently, but skeptics have raised concerns about the security and reliability of these systems. ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS ABOUT ELECTRONIC VOTING, new from the National Academies' National Research Council, offers a set of questions that policy-makers and the public should ask to help ensure that the technologies implemented are secure, reliable, efficient, and easy to use. Advance copies are now available to reporters. The report, which was chaired by DICK THORNBURGH, former governor of Pennsylvania, and RICHARD F. CELESTE, former governor of Ohio, was released on September 13, 2005, and is available free in PDF form at the web site below.
