Subject: For IP - National Academies/CSTB report on Electronic Voting


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.
