Today
the House Science Committee held hearings on the voluntary
voting systems guidelines (VVSG). "We've seen security
defects that allow a single person with insider access and
some technical knowledge could switch votes, perhaps
undetected, and potentially swing an election," Prof. David
Wagner testified. "These problems should be weeded out by
the independent testing process, but it is clear that this
system isn't working." / "We're looking at every aspect of
elections," said Donetta Davidson, a member of the Election
Assistance Commission. "We haven't found any problems with
equipment. The problems we find are human error. The more
elections officials train their people, the fewer problems
we will have."Meanwhile hearings are being held around the
country to find out why machines failed and what needs to be
done to fix them....
