Covering Elections From a Technical Angle
Back doors in machines
verybody seems to be talking about politics. Some people do it only privately. Some are very public and vocal about it.
To me, integrity of proprietary voting machines is an important subject. I don’t believe that voting should be done on computers at all. Modern computers have way too many defects in them. The task of managing elections (ballots) is simple enough to be done manually.
I currently have a series going which deals with voting in the US (more recent parts):
