Spin Cycle

Well, it's not as far as I would like, but at least they're thinking about paper trails and other auditing procedures, which is a good thing. But, in typical business fashion these days, they still seem more concerned about the PR aspects than about the engineering ones - and that's still a concern.

E-Vote Firms Seek Voter Approval. Bad publicity about electronic voting machines prompts the industry to launch a PR campaign to convince the public their machines are safe. They're also rethinking their opposition to a paper trail of votes. By Kim Zetter. [Wired News]

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
