Ricerca USA: il voto elettronico non e' sicuro

Ricercatori universitari americani hanno evidenziato come sia possibile per un elettore malintenzionato esprimere più voti senza venire scoperto.



I test sono stati eseguiti utilizzando una vecchia versione del codice sorgente delle macchine prodotte da Diebold Election Systems, e i risultati non lasciano spazio a dubbi:

"Our analysis shows that this voting system is far below even the most minimal security standards applicable in other contexts, -- said the researchers in a paper published Wednesday on the Internet, concluding that -- as a society, we must carefully consider the risks inherent in electronic voting, as it places our very democracy at risk."



The criticisms echo a fundamental issue that many security researchers have raised with most current systems: There is no way to verify that a vote was correctly recorded and no permanent record is kept.
