E-voting does not have to be “Direct-Recording Electronic”
[Politech] More on electronic voting, security, and seeing source code
This posting to the email list “Politech” describes the differences between “Direct-Recording Electronic” (DRE) voting and other electronic voting systems.
It is important to differentiate between “electronic voting”, which has
immense promise to make voting more accessible to many people, as well as
improving the efficiency and accuracy of the voting process, and
“Direct-Recording Electronic” voting systems, a type of electronic voting
system that record votes _only_ electronically, with no human verified
physical record, which raise many concerns, and have had numerous
operational problems in actual use, leading to (for example) decertification
of DRE’s in California.
