Any and every electronic voting system is vulnerable on the user side, because a program could be deceiving the user. You just can't take enough precautionary measures.<br><br>But this is as true in e-commerce and electronic banks as it is in e-voting and we do millions of electronic transaccions every day. You just have to fight fraud.<br>

I agree that having a mix of third party organizations that would protect the privacy of the vote instead of its integrity could be an acceptable compromise.<br>

The livecd wouldbe 100% free software. Check the software source code<br>
if you want. Then bring your own CD, we do a check sum or similar to<br>
be sure that CD is correct, then you can use it.<br>

No, that won't even work. How can I trust that you will really boot on the CD ? Or that you don't have a BIOS spying on my vote ? Or that you don't sniff keyboard and screen outputs ? There are many ways to cheat. That was one of my arguments against black box voting machines : they pretend that they are inspected but nowadays we could even hide a computer in any of the connectors used by the "inspected" machine. Trusting a given hardware is very hard nowadays and it will only get worse. That is why cryptography is so important.<div>
