Super! Now we need to develop software so WE can steal the elections in November with our PocketPCs and Palm Pilots... :evilgrin:

ES&S has them too.

Lets fix it for them.

7. And what's been done about it? "Old news" makes it sound so...

Trivial!

(As if there's nothing to worry about).

6. Georgia's state certifier - Brit Williams on Wireless

Dr. Williams indicated that much of the wireless discussion is too theoretical in the short term. “We need to look at how voting systems are using wireless technology. And right now the primary use of wireless technology in a voting system is to program voting stations.

Because if I have got 3,000 voting stations and I have to load those with pc cards, then I have got to sit down and manufacture 3,000 pc cards, and keep them separated by precinct. Whereas if I could sit in my warehouse and load those ballot images wirelessly, there is a tremendous advantage.

We need to address that. What are the dangers there? The second thing is opening and closing the polls. Again, I am in the precinct, and it is time to open the polls. I have got anywhere from 10 to 30 voting stations sitting there. It is very convenient to be able to sit down with a console and wirelessly open all 30 of those voting stations; it’s the same thing with closing the poll at the end of the day.

During the day, that wireless capability is not a threat. You turn it off. Voting officials want to know what the risks are if they use wireless. And if they choose to use it, what safeguards can they reasonably put into place?”
