London Free Press: News Section - 100,000 ballots to be cast online

presumably canada has less cR4X0rz?

what do we think about this. we can't even trust our hardware based eVoting systems... are the canadians just less suspicious?

article's light on details. presumably the world standards they refer to are HTTP over SSL, but maybe not.

of course, /. is discussing it here : http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/11/10/1144234&mode=thread&tid=126&tid=95

I'd say just as clueless, and they have a greater need. Online voting seems to make sense when you are trying to collect votes from a small population spread out over an extremely wide area.

Security is a concern, but mail in ballots also have their own set of security issues. I think I'd prefer to use an offline counting system that reads the ballots via scantron to an online system.

In any event, I'd expect some blowback up there too...
