Elections and the Future of E-Voting
Topic: Politics and Law 9:23 pm EDT, Jun 24, 2007

The most important constraints are not imposed by the laws of physics.

They are the constraints that arise from the limitations of human individuals, of socioeconomic institutions, of human preferences, fears, and sentiments such as elation and outrage. Nowhere in our society does engineering confront these human constraints more seriously than in the functions that sustain our democracy—registering to vote, voting, tallying the vote, reporting exceptions and results, and accepting the certified outcome with confidence that it reflects the collective intent of eligible voters.

... Our hope is that these articles will contribute to the realization of an election and voting environment that satisfies the needs of voters and election officials. ... New rules and reliable, trustworthy voting systems might win over voters and become known as the solution that overcame the constraints and saved our democracy from itself.
