e-voting fiction
The Mezonic Agenda takes an interesting tack on the e-voting issue: it presents a fictional story about the nightmare scenario of an e-voting company deliberately trying to provide fraudulent results for the US election.
Now personally, I am inclined to avoid conspiracy theories.
I think there are some fundamental problems with e-voting that simply can't be fixed no matter how good the technology is,
plus which, the actual implementations of the existing technology are farcically bad, showing a complete lack of interest or complete incompetence when it comes to security, testing, design and so forth.
O'Reilly has an article Behind the Scenes at The Mezonic Agenda: An Electronic Voting Primer
and the book website is
