Subject: NSF study: "Internet Voting is no 'Magic Ballot'"

RISKS has previously had discussions of the risks associated with going
to
computerized voting (especially Internet-based voting) as an attempted
panacea for the types of problems we saw in the last US presidential
election.

The National Science Foundation recently released a study that it
commissioned from the Internet Policy Institute on problems associated
with
Internet voting.  The NSF's press release on the study may be found at
<http://www.nsf.gov/od/lpa/news/press/01/pr0118.htm>.  The IPI has a
page
devoted to the study (including a link to the report itself) at
<http://www.internetpolicy.org/research/results.html>.

The NSF highlights the following findings with respect to the
feasibility
of Internet voting:

- Poll site Internet voting systems offer some benefits and could be
responsibly deployed within the next several election cycles;

- The next step beyond poll-site voting would be to deploy kiosk voting
terminals in non-traditional public voting sites;

- Remote Internet voting systems pose significant risk and should not be
used in public elections until substantial technical and social science
issues are addressed; and

- Internet-based voter registration poses significant risk to the
integrity
of the voting process, and should not be implemented for the foreseeable
future.

[These results are rather similar to the findings of the California
commission.  Interested readers should also dig up the recent
Caltech/MIT
report, which states that lever machines, hand-counted paper ballots,
and
optically scanned ballots are all significantly more accurate than
direct-recording voting machines (DREs) and Internet voting schemes.
