Aftermath Of Failed Electronic Voting
Slashdot are pointing to a story in the CS Monitor and NPR concerning electronic voting: A combination of human error (setting the machine to record a maximum of three thousand votes when eight thousand people voted) and a software malfunction (the machine kept accepting ballots after its memory was overloaded) resulted in the loss of…
