Tom: If you can do it, it looks like the various schedule conflicts
have resolved, and we'd LOVE to have you give your Web 2.0 chat
tomorrow.
Can you make it at 12:30 at the Redfish office? Sorry for the gawd
awful scheduling blips!
All: We've been asked by several folks about a talk about

I was quite surprised that when I voted using this system, the machine actually reported that I had voted for and against an amendment (I had filled in the wrong bubble by mistake and figured I could at least burn my vote on this issue by filling in the other bubble -- perhaps a wrong headed move
Jose M. Vidal is writing a textbook about the
"fundamentals of multiagent systems", see

The book emphasizes the game theoretical foundations
of multiagent research and combines them with

I voted late in morning in Santa Fe. Our paper ballot had candidates on one side, bond issues on the other. We filled in a circle with a ballpoint pen. After filling the ballot, we took it to a guy who instructed us to feed the ballot into a scanner/reader. I did so, and the ballot disappeared.
Yeah, this kind of trickery is relatively easy to prove, catch, and

had the option of voting with paper ballots in suburban Cook County, which
Marjorie and I exercised.) Chicago proper hired a college student (trai

The National Academies, which did a preliminary study on this, think the systems are very vulnerable to fraud, much of it undetectable. Two kinds of problems: the technological ones, where voting machines can be hacked--wirelessly or otherwise, and tampered with. The social problems: like schoo
Not really no. About 30% of the installed machines are the Diebold touch-screen model that does NOT give you a printout. There's no paper trail and absolutely no way to check that what the person voted for is what the machine recorded. In addition, Diebold won't release source code because it's pro
